Getting The Facts Straight

Rousseau’s Budget Story Doesn’t Match the Numbers
She tells voters that Arden Hills has been “living beyond our means” and “kicking the can down the road.” She acts like the city was in financial trouble and that she is the one stopping it.
Economic Development Committee (EDC)
For the past four years, Emily Rousseau, my opponent in this election for mayor, has served as the City Council liaison to the Economic Development Committee (EDC). The EDC has not been successful under her leadership; she has missed 25% of the EDC meetings. During that time, the EDC has not maintained the strong ongoing relationship with Arden Hills businesses that prior Councils had cultivated and that our business community needs.
Time for a change? You be the Judge?
David Grant has expertly led our City for over 15 years. He has kept the City fiscally strong, with a great public safety team, well-maintained infrastructure and a quality life cannot be matched in the Twin Cities.
Emily Rousseau and her cohorts (AKA The Slate) came riding into City Hall on a Trojan Horse making promises that have been broken and unfulfilled. She doesn’t have what it takes to promote the future of our City.
S&P AAA Rating
Arden Hills stands as a beacon of fiscal responsibility and stability. However, this election season, untrue statements are being told and circulated, a claim that our city is on the verge of losing its S&P AAA bond rating. This is simply untrue.
