Does Nancy Need To Work So Hard ?

Nancy Carroll invests no less than 30 hours a week for our city. I know very few city officials that work harder than Carroll.

The short answer is Yes. There is only one reason why Nancy Carroll works harder than most other city electeds. Carrol learned early that life is far from fair, and you have to accept it. Carroll's mother worked double shifts as a Registered Nurse in a hospital to support and raise Carroll and her siblings. Her mother received less pay than her male nurse counterparts. When her mother complained to the hospital administrators that she was more experienced and educated but received less pay than the male nurses, she was given just two choices, quit or accept it. From that point on Nancy Carroll was determined to be the voice for the common person and correct the wrongs in her community. When Carroll learned that the property tax money and CFD fees may not have been properly accounted for, Nancy Carroll found the wrong that she could make right. Nancy Carroll works hard for the people and her community.
