In an interview with the Oklahoma Gazette in February 2017, Stone emphasized public safety and infrastructure needs. "For me, a safe neighborhood is a good neighborhood and it helps build stronger families," he said, "If you are afraid to send your kids out the front door to play, it’s hard to have a robust neighborhood. I would like to see police and fire staffing get where it needs to be." He also told the Gazette, "We talk a lot about infrastructure needs and investing in infrastructure. When you drive by a school, you see there is a lack of sidewalks."[7]
Stone also called for a shift in the way the city funds projects. According to the Gazette, he "is a fiscal conservative that believes in developing long-term plans to fund the city's large expenses and supports efforts to reexamine city policy for collecting revenues. With long-term planning, Stone believes the city could become less reliant on general obligation bonds for funding infrastructure and renovation projects. Specific projects could be funded through city revenue and completed in a shorter timeframe."[7]
