"Milinda Ysasi has demonstrated her commitment to our City with a long history of leadership on city boards and commissions. I have seen her dig into complex issues, ask thoughtful questions and act decisively. She works hard, does her homework and comes prepared for the work at hand. Most of all I have seen her listen thoughtfully, especially to those whose perspective is different than hers. She is open to solutions that will solve problems without considering who will get credit for the outcome."
