Philadelphia County, PA November 3, 2009 Election
Smart Voter Political Philosophy for Al Schmidt

Candidate for
City Controller; City of Philadelphia

This information is provided by the candidate

Eliminate wasteful spending- our city bears the highest tax burden in the nation, but City Hall claims we can't even provide core services, like police and fire. They flat-out waste too much taxpayer money.

Combat Public Corruption- audit every city agency every year, as required by the city charter. We don't have a single financial audit of any agency last year.

Protect City Employee Pensions- stop city hall from "balancing" the budget by raiding the pension fund. Hold City Hall responsible for underfunding the pension fund.
