Announcement Press Release

Candidate for Council Member; City of Redwood City

Council Needs Adult Supervision
What our city council needs more than anything is adult supervision. Someone with enough experience in life and business who knows that economies move in cycles and that the bounty we have today should be used to prepare ourselves for troubled tomorrows. With few exceptions, currrent council members are on a reckless spending binge that threatens to force future councils to issues IOUs to our policemen, fire fighters, and librarians. The new city hall is a perfect example. It had $3 million in cost overruns, and when it was paid for, the council took out a risky refinancing of it for a temporary and paltry profit. My agenda will include traffic alleviation, code enforcement of litter and clutter laws, work with schools and libraries to improve our children's test scores, and flood control measures. Redwood City has a reputation unique in San Mateo County for its lack of concern for reducing its debt, improving its infrastructure or assisting its neighborhoods. I want to change that.
