I m concerned that such a small <br /> percentage of registered voters vote in municipal elections. I would appreciate the opportunity to <br /> help improve the turnout for elections that affect us close to home. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> I ve practiced respectable interchanges in personal and formal collaborations with people from <br /> different backgrounds, worldviews, and life experiences than myself. I have the curiosity to seek <br /> clarification of someone else s perspective, and the self-respect to contribute my own <br /> perspective when it s suitable to the situation, even if it differs from others. I understand when <br /> there s a need for compromise or deferring to another person s ideas over my own. Also, I do <br /> not hesitate to suggest fine tuning of an idea if it will lead to a more desirable outcome. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br />
