Norm Thomas is the most
active council member that I have worked with in the
last ten years (Doug Daoust, Council President)
"Norm is willing to dig into the details and implications of complex public policy issues, without losing sight of the big picture. His service as Chair of the Mt Hood Cable Regulatory Commission and as a member representing Troutdale has been invaluable." (Sue Diciple)
" Norm is a consensus builder! He has been instrumental in
forming the East County inter-council to bring together the
Councilors of the four cities to discuss mutual problems and
provide cooperation for effective solutions." (Paul
Warr-King, Gresham City Councilor)
Norm is what you want a
councilor to be, active, responsible, informed and most
of all concerned about how the future development of our
community will impact the families of Troutdale (Blair
Edwards, Troutdale Citizen)
"I have found him to be a thorough man who not only gets `the job done' but done excellently. He has the ability to take direction as well as lead and he works well in the `team setting.' I would add that Norman is a man of highest integrity; when he gives you his word you can count on it." (Kerry Flohr/ Pastor)
"Norm thinks carefully
about the issues. He listens to the testimony,
carefully weight the pros and cons and then makes his
decision. " We need a person who can be fair and even
handed in his dealings with citizens, the city staff, the
business community and other government representatives, as
well as efficiently run our council meetings and attend to
other city business."
"Norm
is fair minded and has the ability to evaluate both sides of an issue.
" (Paul Thalhofer / Mayor)
"Norm Thomas has brought integrity and independent thinking
to the City Council. His decision making skills on the City Council and MHCRC have been a great asset.
" (Doug Daoust / City Councilor)
"I have keenly appreciated, not only the accomplishments of
the MHCRC under his leadership, but also the open "consensus" style he brought to
the Chairman's position." (David Olson)
