I sacrificed thousands of dollars of my own money to make sure our zoning laws are followed and I continue to fight so that everyone is treated fairly, even for the candidates who use this topic for political gain.

Instead of thanking me, they’re actually saying I shouldn’t be eligible to run because I’m the plaintiff in a lawsuit against (them) the city.

My response; maybe those same people shouldn’t be eligible to run for election since there the defendant in the same case. Besides, the Judge agreed with me, that the city was wrong in regard to claiming an overlay existed on the zoning map for the past two decades when it didn’t.

What greater admission of guilt than the fact that the Harrison City Council on August 19th, 2025 passed the very Overlay they claimed had been in place for decades and did so without proper public notice.

Adding insult to injury they negotiated a behind closed doors deal with a private defendant just a few months before they are appear before the judge to claim, “Everything’s good here judge”.

Do they, the mayor and the city law director really think creating this overlay will influence a judge, to forgo seven years of past violations of their own zoning laws?

How sad that these council people and mayor don’t realize I’m fighting for them also. Or do they?

I contribute it to more bad advice from a law director that people on council have whispered about for a long time that needs replaced and nobody’s had the intestinal fortitude to say it publicly, let alone do anything about it.

Well I’m saying it publicly. Bill Deters time is up and the mayor and city council need to have the courage to relieve him of his position without delay. How many more conflicts will he cost the city before he’s removed? While city council preps its next defense, another case looms against the city. This is no threat or vision. It’s a fact!

In the meantime, I know of no other candidate in Harrison’s history that’s put this much of their own personal money on the line to assure zoning is applied equitably to everyone and also so it protects the residents as claimed on the front page of the Harrison zoning departments website.

Aside from all the money city council, the law director, former and current mayor have cost me, I’m also the only candidate running that’s committed his city council pay to charity minus expenses should I be elected.

How much personal money has your candidate sacrificed?
