Adam Schiestel
About
Adam Schiestel's platform appears to focus on fiscal responsibility and property tax relief, as evidenced by the increase in the homestead exemption. His actions on the council also indicate a focus on development, with approvals for mixed-use projects and public improvement districts, while also showing a willingness to deny certain types of development such as self-storage facilities.
