Position Papers
My Five Major Priorities
The major challenges facing Moraga are in five areas: Public Safety; Infrastructure; Community Development; Parks & Recreation; and Financial Stability. These challenges dictate my priorities.
Moraga Center Specific Plan
The Moraga Center Specific Plan (MCSP) is an important planning exercise to define land use policies for this 187-acre in the center of town. This position paper intends to help voters understand what the MCSP is, and is not.
Affordable Housing in Moraga
"Affordable Housing" and its implications for Moraga are not widely understood, judging from questions I have been asked. Many people have their own interpretations, some quite incorrect. The following might help Moraga voters understand this important issue and why Moraga needs to address it seriously.
