[Editor’s Note: The former City Councilman, seeking to return to office on April 10, this afternoon issued the following response to the nearby essay “Real Need or Just Greed?”]
My Form 700 financial disclosure forms are a matter of public record. They have been available over the counter at our City Clerk’s office for more than a decade. All elected and many appointed officials, as well as candidates for elective office, are required to file them.
These forms require disclosure of any financial interests a person may have that may be impacted by his or her decisions as a city official. My choice has been to go ‘way beyond the reporting requirements established by the state so there never will be a question of the integrity of my decision-making process.
This should fully answer questions posed or statements made by my opponents.
