For nearly a year, I have been actively involved in Concerned Citizens of Mt. Lebanon, a watchdog group aimed at monitoring the High School Renovation project and its ramifications in our community. As Lebo Citizens, our focus broadened to include both the School District and the Municipality.

Congratulations! I think it's great whenever a concerned citizen runs for public office. Win or lose, our democracy thrives on the open exchange of ideas and I'm appreciative of your efforts.

ReplyDeleteYour dedication in getting important issues to the forefront is commendable, as is your quest for transparency in the spending of public money.
We need more residents like you. Good luck in your campaign!

Arlene,
ReplyDeleteYou neither live nor can vote in the 3rd. Ward...what difference is it to you ? David has made public his affiliation in the candidates filings, and that is probably how you came to know...he is not required to make that known every time he makes a public statement whether in support of or in opposition to any candidate or issue.
