[line]

Read the answers from all candidates (who have responded).

Questions & Answers

1. In light of the city of Palo Alto's budget deficit, how do you propose to increase city revenues and promote efficiency in city operations?

Taxes are not always the answer, I would want to research other options.

2. How would you propose to meet Palo Alto's requirements for housing, existing and potential retail, future infrastructure, and city services?

The traffic flow patterns need to be reevaluated. There needs to be a balance of retail and business and reviewing the studies that have already been conducted.

3. Does Palo Alto have an obligation to consider regional needs with respect to a growing population, increasing diversity, and the importance of economic opportunity? If so, what proposals and plans would you support?

Absolutely, again the city infrastructure and city services need to be addressed and researched before sensible plans and proposals can be considered.
