Questions & Answers

1. Do you think the proposed LNG facility should be built in Long Beach Harbor? If elected, what actions would you take to support your position?

I do not think there is enough information to decide at this point as to how safe the LNG would be. I would want more information. Currently my contacts with the Homeland Security Director and former gas company engineers and gas company workers. Deputy Chief Jackman also claims it is safe.

2. Should Long Beach airport be expanded? If so, to what degree, and what improvements and enhancements would be essential? Under what circumstances, if any, should the number of available flight slots be increased?

Flights should not be increased. Keep them at 41. I am for modernizing the airport and making improvements and not expanding the airport beyond 103,000 Sq.Ft.

3. What should Long Beach be doing to improve air quality?

Crack down on the ships in the Harbor. Crack down on the the diesel trucks that have old engines, which put out more pollution then newer diesel engines. Look to more environment safe forms of energy.
