town must remain the center of the city.
Alan Black
Bergin said that he supported public transportation but that it should be put to a vote. He also would like to see bike lanes on some city streets.
Public transportation is Alan Black's main goal.
The KU professor of urban planning wants to create a city-wide bus system and said that he was open to many possibilities, such as closing Jayhawk Boulevard to traffic.
Lisa Blair
Black said that he supported controlled development and that downtown must remain strong.
Lisa Blair said that she was running to provide insight into establishing relationships between the city and the county.
Blair, administrator of Downtown Lawrence Inc. and executive director of The Lawrence Alliance., said that she supported growth but that plans for social issues were needed.
Large businesses downtown were good as long as they conformed to the fabric of the community by retaining the common facade of the buildings. Blair said.
She said that a strong land-use plan was needed to maintain green space.
Long-term planning is the focus of Carol Bowen's campaign.
Carol Bowen
The professor of mathematics at Haskell Indian Nations University said that issues, such as the stormwater drainage fee and public
transportation, would not be hard to handle if they had been planned further in advance.
Bowen said that a public bus system was the responsibility of the city and that she supported integrating a city-wide system with the KU bus system.
Bowen does not support a second hospital.
Bob Cutler
Bob Cutler's main goals are to establish a city-wide bus system and to build a public skateboarding park.
Cutler, a bass player for the local band John Geery Theory, said that growth was good but that Lawrence was growing faster than it could handle. He said that new residents and businesses needed to be responsible for the costs.
Cutler is against corporations downtown. He said that the city needed to stop handing out tax abatements to outside businesses and instead should give them to local businesses.
Cutler is also against a second hospital in Lawrence.
He said that an all-ages music venue could be built to provide local children with a place to go.
Erv Hodges
Fiscal responsibility is Erv Hodges' campaign focus.
Hodges, a retired employee of Grinnell Corporation, said that the city spent too much money and that citizens needed to get more for their money.
Hodges said that he supported large stores downtown, which would act as anchors for smaller stores by increasing the number of customers.
Hodges is opposed to a second
hospital. He said that he supported smaller neighborhood recreational centers rather than one large center.
Hodges said that as Lawrence grew, buses were something the people would want and that the city must work with the University of Kansas to reach a solution.
Marty Kennedy wants to take a common-sense approach to running the city by using his business experience and lifelong residency in Lawrence to benefit the city.
Marty Kennedy
The general manager and coowner of Kennedy Glass said that he wanted to balance the budget and ensure that money was used in the most cost-effective manner.
Kennedy supports development and the addition of corporations to downtown, which he said would force local businesses to improve.
Kennedy said that decisions about public transportation should rest with the voters.
Indebtedness and infrastructure upkeep are two issues that concern Bob Moody.
Bob Moody
Moody, incumbent city commissioner and advertising representative for The Trading Post, supports development and bringing large businesses to downtown, which he said would attract more customers.
Public transportation needs to be put to a public vote, he said.
As commissioner, Moody voted in favor of supporting the county's construction of the east leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway.
what the Lawrence citizens want and to act on it.
Kyle L. Numbers
Kyle Numbers plans to find out
The main goal of Numbers, a truck driver, is to have a city-run daycare center for working mothers. He also wants to bring more industry to Lawrence and provide more well-paying jobs.
Numbers said that he supported development but that downtown should be the focus of improvements. The facade of downtown should be maintained, but much should be done to revitalize it, he said.
Numbers said that he supported a city-wide bus system but that it should be put to a vote.
Deitre Weismiller
Ditre Weismiller's goal is to bring a working-class view to city commission.
Weismiller, a taxi driver said she wanted a public bus system, starting with five routes.
Environmental issues, particularly their economic side, concerned Weismiller.
She does not support national chains downtown and said that the city should not be trying to lure them.
Weismiller said that she did not support a second hospital in Lawrence.

Throughout his many years in business, Marty Kennedy has learned the importance of cooperation. Without cooperation, every project takes longer and costs more
COOPERATION
As a city commissioner, Marty Kennedy will bring that same spirit of cooperation to the city's interaction with the University of Kansas. When the city and KU plan and work together, we all win.
It's just common sense - exactly what we need at city hall.
Please vote for Marty Kennedy on February 25.
