Position Papers
Saving farms and open space in Goleta Valley
The Goleta Valley is facing a crucial time in its history with the loss of its farms and open space. Certain business interests want to have the farms rezoned and turned into high density housing . I have joined with Jack Ruskey in running for the two seats on the Board of the GWD .We have specific proposals to preserve the farms and open space.
Allow public participation and input
The GWD's current practices deny the public vital information and provide no meaningful way to communicate information to the Board on vital facts or possible consequences of proposed actions.
