Skunk Hollow Park has not changed since I played on it as a kid more than 20 years ago, and for years, local families have been asking the Town to bring it up to par with the Town's other parks and playgrounds.

That's why I voted yes on amendments to the Town's Tree Ordinance that will allow homeowners to remove certain fire-prone tree species without needing

When I first ran for Town Council two years ago, one issue I brought up was how great it would be to provide more opportunities for students to work with local businesses. Today, we are walking the walk, setting up a framework for the Town of Corte Madera to hire student interns who will get valuable experience as part of our local government. I was proud to vote yes on this item!
