My vision For Oceanside

By George Daniel Barrante

Candidate for Council Member; City of Oceanside

This information is provided by the candidate
My vision of Oceanside is a balanced city with jobs for its residents and sales taxes to support a superior way of life.
Vote for George Barrante for the Oceanside City Council. My vision of Oceanside is a balanced city with jobs for its residents and sales taxes to support a superior way of life. A city that preserves and protects its beautiful natural resources. A city with a balanced budget with funds to build the parks and amenities our residents want.

Oceanside is at a crossroads. The council is in a massive give-away of our assets; The $27 million dollar subsidy to the hotel, which I opposed (see video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pOLAtFlr8c); the closing of the airport; sale of Marina Towers; and now, they are talking about giving away the center city golf course. Visit the web site at http:/georgebarrante.com for details and a video.

Oceanside has one of the lowest Jobs to homes and sales tax per capita in San Diego County. We need jobs and sales tax to survive in the future. But Oceanside is cutting its infrastructure to the remaining land available for commercial development ie. Elimination Ranch Del Oro road form hiway 76 to hiway 78, turning down $500 million from SANDAG for repairs! Refusing 14, 000 grant for the air port. See my solution at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-dTGyrOvMA

If elected I will secure our future by: Starting an active program to get businesses with quality jobs To relocate to Oceanside. See my solution at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-dTGyrOvMA

Restore Rancho Del Oro as a major north south road. Widen parts of College Avenue and El Camino real. Complete Melrose and Cannon roads

Most important get the council to work as a team with a respectful manner.

I will hire more police until Oceanside's crime rate falls below the national average; we need more cops. I will provide more free parking for Oceanside residents at the beach. In fact we should give Oceanside residents priority in everything we do. Finally, I will spend City money, your money, with the frugality as I spend my own To see more about me personally and my service to the community visit; Visit my web site at http:/georgebarrante.com
