I believe all sides of an issue should have a voice and can be heard. I believe true journalism can only be achieved when all opinions can be represented and presented without bias.<br><br><b>Politics </b><br>I am registered an as independent voter, though I believe in being fiscally conservative.<br><br><b>Religion</b><br>I was raised Catholic, though currently I am more of a casual believer at this point.<br><b><br>Local Hot-Button Issues</b><br>I think some hot-button issues in town include keeping our tax rate low, while still being committed to the services we want to provide in town and continuing to have one of the best school districts around. I think it's a difficult balancing act that the town officials have to weigh every day.
