Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M, two-term incum bent, 12-year resident of Bryan, 40 years old. Should Bryan keep the 1-cent city sales tax on utility bills? Why? Yes. The revenue is needed for city services. Should the city and school district tax offices be combined? No. I would favor a county-wide tax ap praisal office. What do you think of civil service for police and firemen? I do not favor civil service for the reasons stated in the position paper adopted on March 23, 1979, by the Bryan City Council. Should Bryan have a private am bulance service, a city service, or cooperate in a county wide service? Why? A city operated ambulance would be best. What are your pet projects, if any? None.
