Other facts

Moving Orinda Forward I am a fiscal conservative and a sophisticated budget analyst. I have spent my career in the public sector advocating for targeting public money efficiently and effectively. I believe that people are best served by public budgets that are carefully crafted to support their needs. Orinda is in dire need of infrastructure repair and its budgets are "past due" in supporting that goal. If Humpty Dumpty were to sit on an Orinda wall, he would be in great danger of falling into a bottomless Orinda pothole. Orinda needs to move forward to correct its infrastructure deficiencies, and engage the ENTIRE community in a discussion of how best to re-configure its downtown while at the same time, honoring its general plan to support its legacy as a charming, small and unique city.
