Deborah Fisher: “I’m backing Hannah Shvets for Common Council in Ward 5 because she shares my values and can enact them.  When I look at the two choices, I see on one hand someone who believes that the role is about fixing everything himself to his specifications, and will therefore amplify the core problems of Common Council, and on the other a coalition builder who understands the fundamentally collaborative nature of government. Collaboration and coalition-building is the essence of effective local government. Hannah has the relationships in place to work with county and state legislators to build local government capacity, and make Ithaca more affordable and fair for more people.”
