It Is Time for New Leadership for Paso Robles

By Pamela Avila

Candidate for Councilmember; City of Paso Robles

This information is provided by the candidate
Our current City Council has not displayed the leadership necessary to move Paso forward while protecting our heritage.
I share the concerns of many Paso Roblans about the leadership and direction of our City. I am troubled by the lack of transparency and responsive leadership at City Hall. I'm concerned because I don't see a clear direction being presented by our current City Council.

After weathering the economic downturn our current City Council is not making any significant move to return the services that were cut. Public safety is still below pre-2008 staffing numbers. We're just now starting to see some of our streets being repaired. The City squandered an opportunity to work with our business community to open a key health and fitness resource + the Centennial Pool. Even though we have few parks, the majority of them remaining in unacceptable condition.

Going forward, there must be a plan in place + with action steps and accountability + for making Paso Robles not just bigger but better!

We need a plan for creating more and better-paying jobs, diversifying our economy from dependence on a single industry (tourism), making it easier to start or grow a business, repairing our streets, reducing crime, training our high school graduates for meaningful jobs, improving our parks and maintaining the quality of life that is so important to all of us.
