Dennis Grimes for Ramona Community Planning Group

By Dennis R Grimes

GroupROV Candidate Statement (Please see my website http://grimesdennis.com for more platform information)

Are you concerned about Ramona's future and protecting Ramona's rural character? Ramona faces many other planning issues, including inadequate and unsafe road conditions and out-of-character development. I share your concerns. For my platform, please visit http://grimesdennis.com.

I'm admittedly a reluctant participant in the political process. However, I believe it's important for citizens to participate in community matters. Last year, I led my neighbors opposing a San Diego County-planned highway bypass that wasted money and did not help Ramona's road problems. We arranged coverage from television crews and newspapers, and I delivered a briefing to our 2nd District Supervisor and County staff. The road was taken off the map.
