Dear Citizen,

It is with great enthusiasm, honor, and humility I am seeking a second term on Plano City Council Place 5. I am a proud citizen of Plano and have been honored to serve as your representative. As a 14-year resident, I have witnessed outstanding change in the city. The maturation of Plano provides unique challenges for our citizens and city council. I want to continue to serve you with leadership, integrity, and fiscal responsibility. My vision for Plano is "To be the premier city to live, work and play in the Collin County."

During the past three years, I have worked with Mayor Evans and council members on a number of initiatives that have had a direct impact on the quality of the lives of our citizens. A few of them are:

• Initiation of the Economic Development Fund. This fund assists in providing economic vitality by helping to attract new jobs to Plano. In 2007, over 2300 new employees were brought to Plano. These employees had an average salary over $77,000.
• Introduction of the Red light Camera Program. This program helps to facilitate improved safety in our community. In 2007, intersection crashes were down 33% and red light violations were down 19%.
• Development of the Neighborhood Code Enforcement Team. This team addresses enforcement of rental properties in neighborhoods that are over 20 years old, in order to maintain vitality in the more mature areas of Plano.

If elected, I will continue to work hard for the citizens of Plano by continuing efforts to maintain increased economic development, public safety, and neighborhood revitalization. In addition, I will work with our County and State legislators on regional issues relating to the improvement of transportation, water resources, and air quality.

To continue this work, I ask for your generosity to this campaign through your monetary contribution, time, and most importantly your vote. Please click here to find out how you can contribute.

Thanks, in advance, for your support!

Sincerely,

Harry LaRosiliere
