Today we continue our series previewing local elections across the Finger Lakes by talking with one of the candidates running for Geneva City Council. Chris Lavin is widely known around the city as the director of the Boys and Girls Club there, but also had a decorated 40 year career in journalism, working for the Rochester Times-Union, St. Petersburg Times, and San Diego Union-Tribune. Among his biggest priorities if elected, making sure that city council works well together, while holding surrounding communities that take advantage of city services financially accountable. He says that the city has some major opportunities for development, which includes job growth and housing, but that it will take a focused effort from city council in the coming years.
