Position Papers
Legally Opting OUT of Social Security,
TEACHERS do NOT have to pay Social Security. State & Federal Employees do NOT have to pay Soc. Security. They have something FAR BETTER.
RETURN CHECKS & Balances to City Government
City Manager should not be able to fire Department Heads. The "good Old boys" have surrendered YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL rights in making the elected City Clerk an underling to the City Manager. We must reverse this. The last elected City Clerk Resigned and moved to Texas. Does that tell you something?
WASTE of Your TAX money
You work hard at your job or business to make ends meet. But while you and spouse are doing that, your city government risks your money subsidizing risky business ventures with YOUR TAX MONEY.
 
Key Endorsements
  • Dr. Peter STATTI, private pediatrician, & union teasurer
  • Thomas Paine, Financial Retirement Planner
  • STOP GOVERNMENT WASTE Comm.
