Public safety

Growth
- Excerpt: "Tim Garrett will work to create an environment that supports managed growth, relying on public/private partnerships wherever possible to finance economic development initiatives. He will continue to support projects that revitalize old neighborhoods and repurpose existing buildings like the Peterbilt facility in Madison, which was converted for use by Metro Transit Authority and Metro police."
