Other facts
Taken from 2010 campaign statement: Fiscal Responsibility * Balanced budget, but have not set aside money needed to fix infrastructure problems * Control costs, instead of trying to control revenues * Pension reform that will save Moraga hundreds of thousands of dollars * Critical to raise revenue in order to maintain infrastructure Development * The longer we take to fix infrastructure, the worse it's going to be. * Retain the businesses we have, stabilize and find out what we need to do to help them. * Opposed to Downtown Specific Plan proposed by incumbents, incompatible with the ideals of a semi-rural community. Open Space * Be consistent with General Plan * Avoid ridge-line homes Open Government * Increasing transparency and public inclusion in the governmental process * Critical to support the school system every way we can * Town should be the biggest cheerleader for the school district Personal Quote: "My perspective is quite different from the current council. I'm un-entrenched; I don't have a long political history. I don't owe anybody any favors. I bring creative, new ideas."
