林怡正：JC民眾最關心的幾個問題 Jay Lin Runoff Q&A for JC Post 
Q1: Describe your day job, and what skill set you bring to the dais.
描述一下你目前的職業，並介紹一下你將為市議會帶來哪些方面的技能。
A1.
I am a serial entrepreneur,I have owned and operated multiple small businesses in the last 28 years across different industries. Currently, I am a construction professional and my company has been established for over 17 years. As a small business owner, I've learned to be a hands-on operator, responsible for everything from business development,vendor and clients relationships, contract compliance, finance, and Human Resources. I have years of experience in executing objectives, implementing new protocols, innovating for growth, and conflict resolution.
我自己的經歷是一段連續創業的過程。在過去的28年裡，我在不同的行業創立並經營了多家小型公司。目前，我是一名專業建築承包商。我的公司已經成立超過17年。作為一個小企業主，我知道如何立即投入業務當中。我熟悉企業經營的所有環節，包括業務拓展、供應商關係、客戶關係、合約履行、公司財務和人力資源各個方面。在策劃與執行，新協議的實施，創新促進業務增長，和解決衝突等方面我有着多年的經驗。
I have announced publicly that I will not engage directly or indirectly in any real estate development/building project, whether they are public or private projects; but with many infrastructure improvement projects that are on the way, I will be able to bring value, experience and knowledge to our city government to maximize the value received for every dollar spent.
我已經向社會公開宣布，我將不再直接或間接地從事任何公共及私營的房地產開發和建設項目。目前正在進行的許多基礎設施改善的項目中，我將為我們的市政府貢獻價值、經驗和專業知識，以確保政府所花的納稅人的每一塊錢能夠發揮出最大的功效。
Q2: What would you like to achieve as City Councilperson?
你在市議員任內想實現什麼樣的目標？
A2.
My guiding principle is "Common Sense Governing." I believe every elected official is to make decisions for the city on behalf of our citizens. Whether it's a financial decision, staffing decision or zoning decision, I am committed to make those decisions with our citizens’ best interest in mind. Therefore, I will always ask myself: Would I make the same decision and make the same financial commitment for my business or home? I will follow this guiding principle 100% of the time and by doing so,I believe Johns Creek City government will be more effective and efficient in the years to come. I would like to accomplish a balanced budget and roll back taxes so our citizens keep more of their hard earned money. When prudent, I will encourage more commercial development to broaden our tax base and encourage job growth. I will fight high density projects that negatively impact traffic and increase the burden on our infrastructure.
我問政的指導原則稱為“常識管理”。我相信每一個民選官員的職責是代表我們的廣大公民為城市的未來作出決策。無論是財務方面的決策、人事方面的決策、還是市區劃分方面的決策，我將致力於為我們市民的最佳利益做出決定。因此，在做出每一個財務決定的同時，我總是會以同一個問題來拷問自己：換成是我自己的公司和家庭，我做出來的決定是不是會一樣？我會在100％的時間裡遵行這一指導原則。我相信，這將使Johns Creek市政府在未來的日子裡的運作效能將得到進一步提高。通過實現預算平衡，我打算通過稅務返還的方式使我們的市民得以保留更多的辛辛苦苦賺來的錢。我會以謹慎的態度，鼓勵本地更多的商業開發項目，以擴充我們的稅基並帶動就業的增長。我會致力阻擋高密度房產的開發項目過關，因為高密度的房產項目將給我們的交通狀況帶來負面的影響，並加重當地基礎設施的負擔。
Q3: Differentiate yourself from your opponent.
和你的競爭對手相比，你有什麼優勢？
A3.
I am proud to say that we have both run positive campaigns to this date and I will continue to do so through the remainder of the campaign. I do think there are some differences that voters should consider when making their choice.
我很自豪地告訴各位，在過去的一段時間裡，我們雙方的競選陣營都以正面的態度從事競選活動。在這段剩餘的時間，我將繼續以這種積極正面的態度完成我的競選任務。我同時也認為，有必要讓選民注意到雙方候選人的不同之處，從而能夠在投票時做出自己的最佳選擇。
1. Experience
經驗方面的優勢
My years of experience in multi-faceted industries and entrepreneurship has given me a wide range of expertise in various segments of the economy. This experience will help me make the right decisions for the people of Johns Creek.
我多年在很多方面從事的產業、以及創業的經驗使我在經濟的各個環節具備了廣泛的專業知識。這些方面的經驗將幫助我為我們Johns Creek的市民做出正確的決定。
2. Ability to listen
傾聽的能力
I've engaged hundreds of face to face conversation with citizens in Johns Creek with one purpose in mind: I'd like to find out the needs and desires of our people. I believe in order to fairly and fully represent the citizens in Johns Creek, I have to be a better listener than I am a talker. I have to be someone who is more than just having opinions on issues but also is willing to listen to all whom I engaged. I believe that I am a better listener than my opponent.
我已經花費大量的時間和成千的Johns Creek市民面對面親自對話。我做這件事只有一個目的，就是我想了解我們的市民的需求和願望。我相信，如果要公正地充分代表Johns Creek公民的利益，我必須成為一個更好的傾聽者而不是演說家。雖然我在很多事務上需要有自己的意見和想法，但是我也更願意成為一個傾聽者。我相信，我比我的對手是一個更好的傾聽者。
3. Availability
公務時間的投入
I am a believer of "Counting the cost before you build the house." Understanding what it takes to serve the citizens as an active and involved city council member was the first step of my decision process. I am blessed to be able to be flexible with my time in my business; and my wife and I just became empty nesters. The timing can't be any better for me to take the next 4 years of my life to devote to public service for the improvement of our city. I could not have made this same commitment 21 years ago with a toddler and a new born baby. There will be times that a city council member needs to be available during the day and invest hours of time to get familiar with subject matters for the council meeting. This will be a major challenge for a young father with a full time job. I believe that I am a candidate that is prepared to be available for the responsibility of being a City Council member.
我相信聖經上所說的：“建造房子之前必須先計算花費。”如果要打算成為一個積極主動投入政務的市議員，我首先就是要計算為了服務市民我到底能夠付出多少時間？很幸運的是，由於從事生意的緣故，我能夠靈活地騰出大量的個人時間來為市民服務。目前我和我的妻子剛剛正好進入空巢期。所以，未來的四年市議員任期是本人的人生當中服務市民的最佳時段，讓我有機會把時間投入到公共服務領域當中，把我們的城市建設得更美好。假設我把時光倒流到21年前，並且帶着一個兩三歲的孩子以及一個嬰兒，我是斷然不會做出如此重大的決定來從政。因為作為一個市議員，常常有需要在白天投入時間服務市民，並且還需要花費大量的時間來熟悉市議會開會討論的各項事務。這些對於一個帶着全職工作的年輕的父親來說，是一個巨大的挑戰。作為一個市議員候選人，我已經為了履行市議員的職責準備了充分的時間。
