I have spent nearly eight years navigating complex <br /> budget and revenue decisions, engaging diverse residents, and advocating for fair and <br /> transparent processes. This experience brings both practical knowledge and a strong <br /> commitment to equity and effective governance to the Tax Assessment Working Group. <br /> Moreover, I believe that I am in touch with many residents in the community who feel that they <br /> are not seen nor heard and I want to bring those perspectives to the Tax Assessment Working <br /> Group. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br />
