Laura Mikulski - 2024 5th year Update
RESIDENT FIRST, POLITICIAN SECOND
About me:
I ran for and was elected to a 2 year term in 2019, then re-elected in 2021 for a 4 year term to city council in Ferndale, MI.
I believe we need to work on
-
managing growth and development,
-
analysis of budget and expenses
-
increasing accountability and communication at a city level.
My professional background is in business management, finance, marketing and accounting. I fully intend to leverage that background and merge it with my deep commitment to preserving the unique character of Ferndale in order to best direct change at a city level.
I commit to:
-
Fight for YOUR rights as a resident and taxpayer
-
Exploring how to ensure affordable housing that aligns with what our community wants
-
Analysis of our budget & communication of budget needs to all stakeholders
-
Active listening, availability by phone, email, and social media to voice your concerns
-
Practical, logical, fiscally accountable stances on any issue brought to council
-
A deep commitment to protecting & preserving our greenspaces for current and future generations to enjoy
-
Improved downtown sanitation and a citywide effort to reduce rat issues safely & effectively, including distribution of rat-proof trash cans for all residents
-
Sustainable, green initiatives that produce a true ROI for the city and residents
Sometimes I wonder if we shall ever grow up in our politics and say definite things which mean something, or whether we shall always go on using generalities to which everyone can subscribe, and which mean very little.
