Steven
Grenbeaux showing Leadership.
"I tried to lead, nobody followed,
and that's the whole point."
Mayor Sabatino
The Modesto Bee
June 12, 2003
I believe that the most important issue in this campaign
is leadership. By leadership I mean the ability to get a
diverse group of people to work together to achieve a common
goal. It is the ability to build consensues and find compromises
that allow the job to get done. It is also being able to
disagree without being disagreeable. I have held many leadership
positions in the military and public service where I have
demonstrated these skills. I have been praised by my colleagues
on the school board and The Modesto Bee for my ability to
provide positive leadership. As mayor I will provide Modesto
with leadership, balance, and integrity.
