Candidate questionnaire — Gordon Poulson
Answer: I agree that we need more police officers in Salt Lake City, to create more police presence in our neighborhoods. I do not support general tax increases, but I support raising fines for speeding and parking violations, and designating those funds strictly for the law enforcement budget. We also need to review the entire city budget and make certain our spending accurately reflects our priorities.
Question 2: Downtown remains a concern for many residents. Do you feel the city is doing the right things to help revitalize downtown? What would you do as a council member to help downtown?
Answer: In the next few years we have a rare opportunity to piggyback the city's efforts with development by private and other governmental entities, such as S.L. County. We need to capitalize on current redevelopment plans to help lift up the rest of downtown.
Answer: Private property owners have the right to improve their property, but they must do so only in accordance with appropriate zoning requirements. Homes that are clearly inappropriate for the rest of the neighborhood will only depress property values and create conflict in our neighborhoods.
