Summary of Thoughts

By Tom Fleming

Candidate for Council Member; City of Vista

This information is provided by the candidate
Fiscal Responsibility Pledge: It is my pledge to look at every item that comes before the City Council with an eye as to what is the most fiscally responsible approach. As all Business people will tell you, all decisions must answer the following questions.
1. Will this accomplish the desired result?
2. Is there a less expensive way to accomplish the same thing?
3. Will there be unintended consequences?
4. Is this part of the Solution or going to add to the Problem?
5. Is this necessary or can we do without it? Tom Fleming Candidate for Vista City Counci
