�Burlington Island has been part of my life for over 30 years. The late Dr. Henry Bisbee gave me insight to the value and the history of the Island. When first I set foot on the Island, I felt like an explorer coming to a new world. Indeed, Burlington Island was unique, as is the Island Board. Separated from the mainland by the river there is a mystery to the Island as it sets. I hope that in the development of the Island the good will outweigh the change.�
�I would like to see the Island accessible and affordable for everyone. I believe massive profits can be generated to aid the school children of Burlington City. Recalling that the first Board served in 1682, I hope that as the board travels into the 21st century that it will always be run by the Citizens and not politicians as it was meant to be.
