UINL tinance student to run
for the Lincoln City Council
By Cindy Cogllanese
Ha calli himself "Joe Citizen." At 24,
this full time UNL student said he thinks
he has the time! and interest to be a good
member of the Lincoln City Council.
Bob Thompson 1025 E St., said he is
tiling in the city council's southwest
.district because he has had an interest in
Lincoln for many yean and feels it is time
to offer his services v;
The finance major said he believes that
Lincoln should continue its strong growth
in all directions, particularly in housing and
business. As an example, Thompson said,
the road system in Lincoln, is outdated in
handling the growing traffic flow in
Lincoln.
Thompson, who 'will graduate in May,
has a real estate license in addition to two
part-time jobs. He said his education will
be beneficial to a spot on the city council
because he understands budgeting and tax
structures. He said his real estate know
ledge will help to understand zoning and
city planning.
Strong downtown
Although Thompson is running in the
southwest district, he does have some
opinions about the city, particularly the
downtown area.
"I think we should keep a strong down
town basis," Thompson said. "In the past
there has been less parking available which
has cut down the ability for people to get
downtown. We need to build downtown
back up."
Thompson added that 15 to 20 years
ago, before the Gateway Shopping Center
was built, the downtown area had a variety
of places to shop. But since that time, two
banks have built new buildings but the rest
of the downtown area has deteriorated, he
said.
"People can now find what they are
looking for without the hassle of down
town parking by going to shopping areas in
different parts of Lincoln," Thompson
said.
In his own district, Thompson said,
constituents are concerned about schools
and property tax. The many railroad cross
ings In his district, which he called traffic
obstructions, are a major concern, he said.
More viaducts need to be built to lessen
traffic problems.
Thompson said he thinks his age could
be an advantage to the council.
"I have the time and energy to spend on
issues," Thompson said, adding that many
of the present council members have
families and businesses which occupy much
of their time.
Thompson said he also favors district
council elections but he feels that the three
remaining members should continue to be
elected at large.
"District elections are good because a
person is more responsible to a certain area
of the city. A district member should intro
duce ordinances and legislation for their
districts," Thompson said.
Council restricted
The current council's influence is re
stricted to one area of Lincoln. District
elections will insure fair representation of
the entire city, he said.
Thompson said the current city council
representation is lopsided because it is
bustaessoriented. He added that only half
of the members know what they are doing
or "appear to be doing a good job."
"The citizens want someone who is
willing to work for the city," he said. "I
look at the city council job as a public
service job. I'm out to serve the public with
no special interest groups in mind."
Thompson added that while his district
does not include the UNL campuses, he
would like to see a joint venture by the
city and the university.
One such project that he has in mind
would be to close R street from 12th street
to 15th street, and plan a mall for the area.
He said the businesses affected get mostly
university business anyway.
