Solving local problems at the regional level - disaster planning, traffic, housing

By Rick Ochsenhirt

In today's economy, many of our problems do not originate within our city limits, nor do they end there.

We must be represented regionally by strong, knowledgeble representatives to those governmental bodies that make decisions about disaster planning, public transportation, airport noise, and other regional matters that impact our property and our lives.

We need to send people with a high level of experience and background to protect South San Francisco's interests.

I have gained that background and experience through my work as a Planning Commissioner and a Park and Recreation Commissioner. My years as a South San Francisco homeowner and my involvement with the Chamber of Commerce and other professional and civic groups have given me insight on our community and what our residents want and what the city needs to solve these problems.

I will work hard for you at both the local and regional level.
