The questions were prepared by the League of Women Voters of Santa Cruz County and asked of all candidates for this office.
Read the answers from all candidates (who have responded).Questions & Answers
1. What guidelines would you use to make decisions about the County Budget in hard economic times?
In the worst economy in decades as thousands of residents are cutting back, libraries are closing, and essential public services are getting cut, the Board of Supervisors voted to increase County executive salaries by 12%--which were already over $200,000 per year. I will take a stand to allocate County resources where they will do the most good. I will work to make local government more efficient. I will start by calling for an independent audit of all of the departments in the County--to improve service delivery and cut wasteful government spending.2. In your opinion, what are the most important issues facing the County in the next five years?
The Board of Supervisors has gotten away from its core mission, which is to provide services for Santa Cruz County residents. My goal is to make sure that taxpayer dollars are allocated where they will do the most good. I will start by calling for an independent audit of all County departments. This will allow us to improve service delivery and cut wasteful government spending.
