Smart Voter Political Philosophy for Michael McCue

Candidate for
Council Member; City of Los Angeles; District 2

This information is provided by the candidate

Clean Money/Fair Elections Full public funding of campaigns. Place this dormant Measure on the 2011 City Ballot for public approval so to eliminate the "Big-Money/Special Interests" dominance of our City Hall leaders' positions and decisions in their constant favor.

A Collections Sheriff This person would be empowered to identify and collect the approximate $500 million currently owed to the city of Los Angeles by tax delinquents and scofflaws. By taking action on the outstanding collections, we can help balance the city budget deficit.

A Rate-Payer Advocate This person would be assigned to the DWP to stop the illegal flow of rate-payer's funds and utility profits to the City General Fund.

Fair Water Management & Drought Practices Eliminate the unfair burdens placed on the Los Angeles city homeowners and demand "shared sacrifice".

Infrastructure Upgrades Enforce public utilities to execute necessary infrastructure upgrades +thus creating jobs.

Energy-Wise Development To enhance our community's character and value, an energy-wise, sustainable and sensible development plan must exist.

Full Funding & Enlargement of the Green Streets Program New residential streets would be built using materials that hold and contain rainwater, preventing run-off, replenishing the Valley Aquifer and increasing property values.

Cleaner Air Quality Enforce existing and introduce new municipal codes that improve our quality of life.

A New Solar Power Policy A policy that includes subsidized home-energy audits, fairly-priced buy-backs to those rate-payers who create more energy than they use, free and open access for all businesses to solar-power providers' services and green-manufacturing initiatives that could reinvigorate abandoned industrial sites across the Valley, encourage local businesses to grow and create green-industry manufacturing jobs for Valley workers.
