Position Papers
Cleaning OC's beaches
Heavy state involvement is needed to bring about a fundamental upgrading of our region's sewers, storm drains and wastewater treatment capability. Without this kind of state involvement, the issue is simply too large for any ONE city -- or even for ALL the cities -- to handle.
Valuing our Families
We talk about "Family Values," but there are things that government can do RIGHT AWAY to VALUE OUR FAMILIES.
Extending Health Care security to seniors, kids and the vulnerable
We are entering a "post-HMO" world, where the future of health care needs new definitions. We must make some big decisions, so that seniors, children, families and our most vulnerable citizens can be confident that they are protected.
