Q: What are your priorities for addressing stormwater management and local flooding concerns?
Tiffany McIntyre: I never pretend to have all the answers, and so that's one of the things I actually want to talk to some different people about that do know a little bit more about the storm water issues. Whether it's home builders, whether it's the planning commission for our streets and things like that, I need to know a little bit more about where they see the issues in order for me to really have a big opinion on what I think would be best.
Paul Simmons: It's been a pain point for quite some time. When I made my announcement, that's probably one of the first things I heard. Those things are going to have to happen, and you have to have a strategy involved and in place. You can't make hasty decisions because you're talking about a long-term strategy there, as it relates to storm water and drainage. I do think that if you get the right leaders involved, you can solve that problem.
