I like his suggestion about putting the city checkbook online. This city should be more transparent with it's actions.

I have gotten to know James, and listened to James speak on several occasions. James has passion, and compassion when he discusses this great city. James has committed his business, his home, and his family to Westbrook. James understands that city government is much like his business. It all comes down to making people happy, to give people the feeling that they have been listened to, and paying your bills. James is the new face of the Republican party. Driven and successful family man. Open-minded and concerned about his community, a community he is driven to make better.

I agree David! James is a real man! He can voice his beliefs because we know he is an honest man! A man with true charterer will overcome the weak with their charterer flaws. James stands tall and outshines his competition. He is the beginning of a new Westbrook. Be it this election or next this city is on the eve of extreme change. The changing of the guards is near.
