Top Priorities if Elected
  • Eliminate waste- We bear the highest tax burden in the US, and City Hall just hiked the sales tax higher. They flat-out waste too much taxpayer money
  • Combat Public Corruption- audit every city agency every year, as required by the city charter. There is not a single financial audit for last year.
  • Protect City Employee Pensions- stop city hall from "balancing" the budget by raiding the pension fund.
