we don't have any homeless in riverton.part on boards and help finance homeless shelters and salt lake from our city. but i realized that as mayor, the important thing i got involved with was roads. i was the teacher. wanted to know about building roads and all of that? i was in my first elected office 13 years ago as a councilmember. what did i know about the political way to work? but what i soon found is i looked at grants that are coming our way and development coming our way as far as roads and so forth to i never saw riverton's name on it that first year, and so i started asking, what do i need to do and what do i need to be involved with. and this name probably would not mean anything to but mayor tom dolan of a major city in our valley, he was gracious enough to go out to lunch with me, and i could pick his brain. and he said bill, get involved in the transportation community. so i've learned the language. i've learned the politics. i have the passion, and it's critical to our city the mobility part is a very, very

buildings we had and what i would call downtown riverton have been most of those have been taken away through widening the roads by udo. so, we had a pretty clean, clear canvas that we could develop. and when i went on the council, there was a senior member and his slogan was which i adopted in my own mind as well, you only have one time to build out a city. build it out right. and so, that became the overarching goal, too, and so, we don't have a lot of economic redevelop. we have economic develop because of that. which has been blessing for us. and these aren't necessarily in the order of importance but they're the goals that i've had all the time. one is to have and develop over space and we developed open space starting with parks. and in the nine years that i've been in as mayor, little over nine years, we spent $28 million

in new jersey marlton 8 inches riverton, right by the the delaware 7.9. cherry hill seven. pitman 6 inches. estelle manor 5.5 and you are still snowing. newark, 7.1. magnolia five. smyrna 4.5. and in dover, we need an updated report, last report was only half inch. you can see snowfall this season in philadelphia 20.3 inches. an update needed we still need that official reading from the airport. in boston, 105.7. it paleness comparison but this was the the biggest snowfall of our season. it could very well be the last one. right now in philadelphia allentown, 20 in the poconos, 13. skies will clear and temperatures will plunge overnight. they will plunge to new record. you can see a sharp contrast from all of the snow and cold, even through nashville through west virginia and virginia, to the south, look at south caroline 71, raleigh-durham 36. over the course of the day a 40-degree temperature difference within one state. you can see our area have of low pressure culprit of the snow moving away but behind

and i moved to riverton in 1975. where 20 miles south of salt lake city, so we're in the metropolitan area. when i moved there, there were 3,000 people in 1975. in 2015, we have 42,000 people approximately and by 2030, i believe we'll be built out by then, we'll have 60,000 people. we're 12.6 square miles. i didn't leave a zero off of there. we're 12.6 square miles and we have a general fund budget of $9.2 million to kind of give you a feel for our city. as i became mayor, i wrote down some goals that i wanted to -- accomplish, some emphasis. i wrote down some of my philosophy and what i wanted to do that way and one of the things i wrote down that wasn't in my campaign, but as i took office, my major job was to spend money. not to save money. but to spend money, but to spend it in the right way. and then as i analyzed and had when i was on the council, and probably view in your area the very negative funding for us is property tax. if you raise property tax, they want to hang you by the nearest tree. if there's not

mount holy or moorestown or riverton or even on the pennsylvania side, and levittown, if it is snowing now it will end up as snow because it will be over rather quickly, that is good news. lets check with our eyewitness weather watchers ande what we have to say. in south jersey we have mix with rain and sleet and then as you move further north closer to the river we're talking about mainly snow. bob reporting snow in burlington township with a temperature of 31 degrees. let's check out pennsylvania because we have had impressive snow amounts here 31 degrees, so below freezing. this is reported by carolyn in philadelphia. the temperature is still quite coal, march lion refusing to stop roaring. snow is wet, heavy. be careful shoveling. good news if you wait long enough tomorrow will be 50 i think you can let driveway go that is good news. lets look at northern delaware where it has change over to rain steve, and others are reporting rain and temperature of 33 degrees. the lets look outside, because

we now have two roads out of riverton. one is bang lar highway, a road that carries about 45,000 people a day and so, we've widened our other roads so that we have roads, our other road we had in riverton handles 30,000 people a day. we have bangular highway which goes north and south and east and west. it circles because we're against the foothills where you can't go directly out. we've had those kinds of things and mobilely going forward. we'll talk about that later, but it's important for us to include all aspects of transportation. public transportation is an important part, rail, a very important part. which we'll talk about a little later. as i mentioned i grew up in los angeles, california. grew up in the smog era. grew up where you can't see the beautiful mountains because they were hidden a lot of the year by what we call smog in those towns. grew up with a healthy young man, but when you're too involved with athletics, your chest would hurt because of the air pollution that was in the area. moved to salt lake and

and so we have this corridor right now what i need is one road out of riverton. the sensitivity that we all have for the land around the environment not interfere with that very much. we now have two roads out of riverton one is a row that carries about 45000 people a day. and so we widen our other road so that we have roads handling 30000 people a day we have a highway which goes north and south and east and west in circles because we are against the foothills where you cannot go directly out. we have had those kinds of things and mobility growing -- going forth between we will talk about later. it is important for us to include all aspects of transportation. public transportation and important part rail, a very important part which we will talk about a little later. los angeles california grew up in a smart error you could not see the beautiful mountains because they were hidden by what we call smart. route to salt lake big blue skies and the fountains but have seen that deteriorate as population has been cut. a major goal i have is air quality. we don't -- we
