Reeves' campaign website included the following themes:
| “ |
Our Mayor, city council members, and candidates running for Plano city council are fine, upstanding citizens. The present city council has contributed to what Plano is today---a vibrant city of excellance. There is, however, philosophical differences held by individuals on issues. As to issues, there's a looming issue that, when fully implemented, stands to bring Plano down a notch; it may very well turn Plano into another Dallas. What is this issue you ask? It is high density apartments. Building thousands of four and five story apartments, in addition to the thousands that already exist, cannot be in the best interest of Plano. Common sense tells us this will eventually lead to overcrowding our excellent nationally recognized schools, increased traffic congestion, increased transit residents in our neighborhoods, increased crime, lowered property values, and higher infrastructure costs. The Plano Tomorrow Plan (listed on the city website) threatens to destroy the progress that Plano has made over the years, and as previously stated, will make Plano look more like Dallas than the wonderful city where so many of us raised our children. I want Plano to remain the shining, flourishing city that we have come to be proud of and enjoy. The mayor continues to approve thousands of high density apartments. If elected I will advocate for the will of vast majority of citizens who want to discontinue this destructive trend. If you share my sentiments, I ask for your vote in the May 6 election.[3][4] |
