- Commercial Revitalization Across San Bernardino
-
Sales taxes are the #1 source of SB's revenue. SB's main commercial areas have thrift shops and vacanies. A partnership must be created between business, centers for business innovation at Cal State, SB and SB's Redevelopment Agency to create a winning revitalization strategy.
- Support an Effective Administration Within SB's Police Department
-
During the last 12 years, SB has seen four police chiefs come and go. The most effective police department have a tight command and administrative structure. The constanct turn-over at the top inhibits the creation of an effective crime-fighting strategy.
- Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.
-
SB has several programs underway that, if they are adequately recognized and integrated, can potentially create 1000s of jobs in the near future.
