Official Candidate StatementBy Kostas "Gus" RoditisCandidate for Council Member; City of Anaheim | |
This information is provided by the candidate |
I'm just a hardworking, successful young businessman, who wants nothing more than to wrestle Anaheim from the powerbrokers' grasp and return it to the people.I grew up in Anaheim. Then, it was a clean, safe, family-oriented community. Business was good. Property values were high. Children were safe. That was long ago. Today, 12% of Anaheim residents live in poverty. Violent gangs and drug kingpins control many parks and neighborhoods, stealing cars, tagging, driving property values down, and costing taxpayers more, every year. Nearly 300 Sexual Predators live in our neighborhoods. Neighborhood roads and sidewalks are crumbling. That must change. I will create an Anaheim Revitalization Plan, in order to fix our roads, bury telephone/electrical poles, and bring vital infrastructure to Anaheim. Clean up our neighborhood parks. Diversify our economy with higher paying jobs. Hire Police/Fire Units we desperately need. I'm just a hardworking, successful young businessman, who wants nothing more than to wrestle Anaheim from the powerbrokers' grasp and return it to the people. I will dedicate at least one day a week to meet with Anaheim Residents, without an appointment, in order to solve our problems. My cell phone 714-423-7137, is available to you because you should never feel your representative is out of touch or inaccessible. If you want a better Anaheim, then I need your help and vote. |
