Plymouth LWV hosts City Council candidate forum

Kaitlin McCoskey from the Sun Sailor published a recap of the recent League of Women Voters candidate forum.

I'll share a few key quotes here but encourage you to read the full article.

Public Safety

Gregor...shared that at a recent city council study session, “one of the staff members said, ‘Quality of life starts with feeling safe in your community.’ And I really took that to heart.” He shared the idea of supporting and training local law enforcement, as well as building community through citizen’s academies.

Diversity

Gregor said “I think there’s a lot of strength to be found in diversity,” noting that diversity includes color, age, ability, and many other aspects. He shared his support for a DEI role in the city, while agreeing with Zeismer that metrics would be helpful to evaluate the role.

Environment

Another question asked was “What goals to protect the environment would you encourage for Plymouth?”

Gregor responded first, noting that he served four years on the Environmental Quality Committee. “One of the things that our committee brought forth was the Green Steps Program, and I was disappointed to see it was voted down several years ago.” He said this and supporting the EQC would be his priorities.

There were several more questions asked and topics covered, so I encourage you to watch the full event to learn more.
