Questions & Answers

1. What is your position on Measure A?

I support the building of the overpass, I don't believe we need to add to our tax burden to do it. The city should use increases they receive increases in sales and property tax revenues to fund the project.

2. How can the City of Arcadia best secure an acceptable standard of public safety?

The city currently is understaffed by 15 police officers. Only by dedicating the resources necessary can we attract and retain the officers we need. This must be our first priority. Any new development must be able to pay for any increase in law enforcement they may need.

3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a city election in April of the even-numbered years? Do you favor continuing the practice?

The advantage of the April 11 election is that voters can focus on local issues and candidates without the clutter of statewide issues.
