Candidate for
Council Member; City of Milpitas

I believe in open and transparent government and more participation of people in major decision making process. In addition, my agenda includes the following:

Work toward reforming public employee salaries and pension to balance the budget and to ensure good financial health of the city in both short and long terms.

Ensure budget cuts do not lower the quality of life for the residents of Milpitas in any substantial way.

An operations audit of the water and sewer services to include the pricing. A solution must be found to our ever increasing utility bills which are the highest in the area.

Improved oversight of the city capital improvement budget. We need to ensure that our facilities infrastructure will remain intact in the event of a major earthquake.

An indepth review of our city's debts and the long term plan to retire them and return our city to financial health.

To work closely with the School District and involve the School District for decisions related to new housing construction and construction of a new elementary school.

Make it easier for small businesses operate and create more jobs in Milpitas.

Avoid layoffs and cutting senior services.

Environmental friendly safer communities.
