Life as an alderman has been very good, so far.
Tonight, I was invited to speak at the meeting to form anew the Fort Howard Neighborhood Association. The west side of downtown will again have an active association of concerned neighbors. I am looking forward to working with the group. FHNA has much in common with the Downtown Neighborhood Association, the group in which I've had the pleasure of serving as president since its inception in early 2009. Each is a core downtown neighborhood, both are economically diverse, and each contains an amazing urban elementary school- Howe and Ft. Howard, respectively.
