To Cedar Hills candidates specifically:

About the recreation center:
• What is your stance on building a recreation center?
• What responsibility will Cedar Hills citizens have to maintain it?
• A recreation center will compete against private enterprise, why should a city government own and run one?
• Would you be in favor of working with a private business instead of the city owning a rec. center?
• Would you want to work with other cities?

About the Golf Course

(From me) I am a big Dave Ramsey fan and believe in his philosophy. Would you be willing to put the city on rice and beans and beans and rice (in other words cut spending dramatically) and aggressively pay off the golf course bond?

City council salaries

Would you be willing to cut city council salaries that were raised last year?
