Harry Sidhu Unveils Economic Action Plan

By Harry Sidhu

Candidate for Supervisor; County of Orange; Supervisorial District 4

This information is provided by the candidate
The people of North Orange County need stronger leadership to rebuild our struggling economy and bring jobs to our communities. My Economic Renewal Plan is a comprehensive approach to restoring the prosperity we once enjoyed.
Harry Sidhu's Action Plan for Economic Renewal

Creating Jobs

  • Reduce Government Bureaucracy--Streamline county operations to eliminate costly government red tape that prevents employers from hiring more workers.
  • Support Tax Relief--Lower the county's excessive permit and business fees to help small businesses thrive and attract new companies to Orange County.
  • Encourage Investment--Support a reduction in capital gains taxes to increase private investment monies available for business expansion and new construction.
  • Expand Job Training--Create new apprenticeship and training partnerships with Orange County employers and universities to provide more opportunities for our youth. * Organize County Business Fairs to help local residents find jobs.
  • Support Local Businesses--Comprehensively review the County Economic Development Strategy. Assist employers in finding new customer markets for their products and services.
  • Promote International Opportunities--Attract international trade and professional jobs by actively promoting Orange County as a preferred business destination for overseas firms.
  • Stop Lawsuit Abuse--Crack down on lawyers who file frivolous "class action" lawsuits. These lawsuits cost taxpayers and small businesses millions of dollars every year.

Reforming County Government
  • No Pensions for County Politicians--Oppose government pensions for county politicians. Harry has signed a binding pledge NOT to accept a pension as our County Supervisor.
  • Eliminate Wasteful Spending--Cut excessive salaries, travel and perks for county administrators. Require performance audits for all county agencies to identify budget savings.
  • Reduce County Pension Debt--Support financial reforms to reduce unsustainable county pension debt. Oppose Government Bailouts--Public dollars should NOT be used to reward private mismanagement!
  • No Tax Hikes--Harry has signed a "No Tax Increase" Pledge. He believes North Orange County families are already paying too much.
