Hi Everyone,

Thanks to each and every one of you for your support and encouragement over the past several months. The real job begins now. The analogy that I can think of is that I had interviewed with the residents of the 1st Ward and have now been selected. I am looking forward to focusing on the key items that I had discussed throughout my campaign: Vision and measurable goals for Mt. Lebanon, Reducing taxes without compromising service (or increasing debt) and using Online communication for greater transparency.

In my opinion, the best ideas and solutions come from the residents. Please email me your vision for Mt. Lebanon. I also request that you email me any issues that you see in Mt.t Lebanon along with your solutions to address the same.

I want to thank my Campaign Committee for not only their enthusiasm and strategic input, but also for the endless hours that were spent going door to door, setting up Meet & Greets, mailing postcards, etc. I have numerous people to thank and I plan on do so individually. However, I want to thank two people in particular: (i) my wife, Neeta, who did a spectacular job in coordinating many parts of the Campaign and (ii) Campaign Chair, Elaine Warren, who energized the entire group and kept us focused until the very last day => we were scheduled to go door to door even the day before the election!!

Thanks again.
