What music are you listening to these days?

The new Tom Waits Orphans box set and George Martin’s work he has done for Cirque De Soleil…it is the greatest Beatles album of all time.

Why do you care about community, when it is so easy not to?

Because the sense of community is dying and it needs help.  The rewards for investing time in your community are enumerable.    

What do you look for in a politician? What do you expect from your MP?

A person who is more interested in making things better than in having the power to do so.  Someone with the courage to not put their fingers in their ears when they get into office.
