My five key principles to improve Fountain Hills

Posted
By Matt Corrigan | Fountain Hills council candidate

OPINION — I am Mathew Corrigan, your choice for Fountain Hills Town Council.

I believe five key principles will improve Fountain Hills. Economic vitality by promoting local businesses to become a leading destination point in Arizona. Public safety by supporting MCSO law enforcement. Smart development, another priority, with strategic planned development of Fountain Hills neighborhoods. Fiscal responsibility in efficient spending and eliminating waste. Finally, maintaining our quality of life.

I’ve worked for two Fortune 500 companies and I succeeded by listening to customers’ concerns and working together with them in solving problems. I successfully owned and operated my own small business. I was vice president of a 210-home H.O.A. board and solved our budget and management problems by changing management, cutting waste while improving equity. I currently serve as commissioner on the Fountain Hills Planning and Zoning Commission, working with the other commissioners, together, as we maintain our ordinances.

As your town council member, I will apply all of these management skills in solving problems for residents here in Fountain Hills.

Please don’t be distracted by people or candidates who feel compelled to criticize the current Fountain Hills Town Council majority yet offer no definitive solutions or realistic options for our town or our great staff. Constructive criticism should be supported with alternatives, with a plan for better government and not only a list of complaints or grievances.

I encourage everyone to look at the constructive accomplishments that have continued to make Fountain Hills the best place to live in Arizona.

I see Fountain Hills as already an oasis in the desert and the best of all towns in our great state of Arizona. I intend to help make it better if you will honor me with your vote for Fountain Hills Town Council.
