I have been married to Lorraine for 35 years. We have 3 grown children, Jim Jr., Katie, and Kristy. They attended John Baldwin, Charlotte Wood, SRVHS and went on to Stanford, Cal Poly SLO, and Azuza Pacific respectively. Kudos to SRVUSD!

Over the past 17 years I have always thought that our town council and staff were extraordinary. They have done a great job in keeping our budget in balance and our reserves intact during precarious times. Tough choices have been made to offset lower revenue due to the economy and the State's raid. I suspect that the State's condition will only worsen over the next few years, regardless of whether or not the tax increases proposed by the Governor are approved by the voters this fall. We can anticipate that the State will continue to place further strain on future budgets. We'll need strong leadership to steer through the rough times ahead.

Our quality town is not entirely under our control. The State and a variety of agencies are pushing all cities to conform and adopt their agendas. The growth in the surrounding communities will play a major role on how we are impacted. We'll need to maintain close partnerships with those government agencies so that our concerns are addressed. I believe that my past experiences have prepared me to guard our interests from such forces and keep Danville's small town atmosphere and outstanding quality of life in our hands.

I support the voter approved urban limit, the retention of our scenic hillsides and ridgelines, and the need to improve north Hartz Avenue. I love our town and am very proud to call it our home. It would be an honor to serve you. http://www.JJJforDanvilleCA.com
