Position Papers
Ballpark Village: Should Fremont Take the Risk?
While I am a huge sports fan, I have lots of concerns about the proposed ballpark. If the A's can't address these issues, the ballpark could end up hurting Fremont.
What do We do about Rising Crime in Fremont?
When the City keeps approving development that doesn't pay its way, its no surprise that our crime rate is going up.
A Tale of Two Budgets, or Why All this New Development Doesn't Help Fremont's Budget
The City government tells us that new development brings in revenue. What they don't say is that much of this revenue cannot be used for police, fire, or other basic services.
