St. Martin Council
Steve Reverman
Reverman, a self-employed contractor, has served on the St. Martin City Council for 16 years. And he has served 27 years on the fire and rescue.
Why are you interested
in serving on the city council?
Having served for 16 years, I have seen the city grow, and I feel there is a lot of unfinished business to take care of yet. If re-elected, my interest will be with manageable growth - expand the industrial park, new subdivisions, and quality water.
What will you do, as mayor,
to make St. Martin
a better place to live?
Be available for the citizens of the city to listen to their concerns; keep working on a state-of-the-art filter system to cut down on the rust in the water. There is also a need to take a good look at our infrastructure to handle growth in the years to come. The city doesn't have the tax base of a larger community but still has the expense of growing pains.

Why are you interested
in serving on the hospital board?
I can foresee a number of positive and exciting things happening at PAHCS in the coming years. I would like to be a part of them.
What are the most important
issues facing PAHCS?
One of the biggest challenges is to keep abreast of proposed legislative changes so that we can be proactive rather than reactive to these changes.

Hospital Board - City of St. Martin
Diane Rothstein
Rothstein has served on the hospital district board of directors since the hospital district was formed in 1992. She currently is board clerk.
Why are you interested
in serving on the hospital board?
Serving on the hospital board gives me the opportunity to represent the city of St. Martin. The hospital has serviced many people in our town over the years, including my family. I have been able to give some service back to the hospital through the board and would like to continue by serving another term.
What are the most important
issues facing PAHCS?
Financial issues are always on the top of the list of priorities. Providing as many services as possible for the residents of the district, along with quality of care are very important issues that become challenging with today's health care.
