In response to a question about the greatest obstacle to the city's success, he said:
| “ |
The greatest obstacle is overcoming the divide that is manifested through the lack of effort to deem what is unacceptable, unacceptable. Everyone deserves a piece of the American dream. Funding is the key. My solution is to do all things with patriot love. A tax break for the rich and funding for the homeless should reside in the same bill proposal.[3] |
