As your Ward 3 representative, Rod will work hard to protect and enhance the security, stability and quality of life in our neighborhoods by:

• Scrutinizing future budgets carefully to protect essential city services
• Partnering with neighborhood associations to promote better communication between residents, City Hall, and the Police Department
• Building on his Planning Commission experience in fostering Ward 3 businesses such as Standard Printing and The Corner Brewery; as well as Walgreen’s (on Michigan Avenue) and American Photo Studios (on the former Ave Maria site) — both of which converted non-taxable parcels into tax-paying, job-generating commercial properties
