Top Priorities if Elected
Eliminate waste- We bear the highest tax burden in the US, and City Hall just hiked the sales tax higher. They flat-out waste too much taxpayer money
Combat Public Corruption- audit every city agency every year, as required by the city charter. There is not a single financial audit for last year.
Protect City Employee Pensions- stop city hall from "balancing" the budget by raiding the pension fund.
