Top Priorities if Elected
  • Claremont requires leadership that is analytical, goal-oriented and willing to take unpopular positions. I provide such leadership.
  • Increasing the supply of "affordable" homes will not come from market forces in Claremont.
  • Giving greater voice to groups not always well represented when priorities were being set at City Hall -- particularly parents of school age children

Position Papers
Comments by Llewellyn Miller, Council Member before the California Assembly Committee on Local Government March 5, 2003
As we explore reforms, whether we go as far as revisiting Prop 13 or making adjustments on the edges, we will be risking yet more unintended consequences. The lack of local discretion in our current system (essentially limited to developing sales tax or increase taxes) prevents even a good management team led by strong elected officials blessed with cooperative constituents from pursuing effective recovery or development strategies.
Lack of coherence hinders rail projects
Efforts by the San Gabriel Valley cities to extend the Los Angeles-South Pasadena-Pasadena Gold Line light railroad to Montclair at the San Bernardino County border have produced a reaction from some members of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority that highlights why managing our region's transportation is so troubled.
Claremont and Its Water Company
The price of "imported" water is being pushed upward by the demand resulting from a steadily growing Southern California population. All the other costs are subject to inflation rates that are probably higher than the Consumer Price Index. Unfortunately, Claremont's choices are among various rising rate scenarios.
