It seems like only yesterday that I stood in the Council Chambers in City Hall and took the oath of office. But, ever since that morning of June 1, 2006, I have tried to represent the needs and concerns of the citizens of Orlando and of my district, District 3.
Over the past three years, we have accomplished much, and still there is more to do. We have welcomed the Burnham Institute to Orlando and have paved the way for a new medical city that will be second to none. With the partnerships of Burnham, University of Central Florida, University of Florida, Florida Hospital, Orlando Health and scores of others, we will see a lasting impact on both the economic development of our region and the quality of life.
And, while we are all concerned about public safety, I am honored to support those initiatives that put more "boots on the ground and on ladders" so that each of us feel safe and secure in our homes and neighborhoods. Public safety and economic development - two of the most important responsibilities of a great city like Orlando.
Across District 3 - from Rosemont to College Park to Baldwin Park and all places in between - we have made great progress in crime prevention. I am so proud of our neighbors who have chosen to fight crime through our Neighborhood Watch groups. In 2008, District 3 had more participants in neighborhood watch meetings than any district in Orlando and, it shows. While there is still more work to do, crime has been steadily going down and we see great possibilities for the future!
During these times of unprecedented economic change, we need sound leadership, well founded in the very core of our community. Having been born and raised in Orlando, I've walked our neighborhoods, talked to our citizens, and listened to their concerns and share many of the same experiences of my fellow Orlandoans.
So, I'm asking, once again, for your support as I seek re-election as City Commissioner for Orlando's District 3. Please join me as we lead our community through these difficult times and into a great new future together!
Sincerely,
Robert F. Stuart, Commissioner
City of Orlando, District 3 |
