1. If it were entirely up to you, what measures would you take to address Los Angeles County's fiscal crisis?
The County can not take a "slash and burn" approach to our budget process. Before we target critical areas of service, we must look at greater efficiencies and areas that do not directly impact the quality of life services we provide within the Sheriff's Department, District Attorney, Probation, Parks, and Libraries.
2. SB 921, Senator Kuehl's Single-Payer health care proposal currently in the Legislature, would provide universal health coverage for all Californians. What impact would universal single-payer health coverage have on Los Angeles County's health care provision system?
The Universal Health Care Bill will be a death blow to our economy in the County. Business can not afford the additional cost to provide this mandate. As a result, many will be forced to leave the State. Without the revenue and jobs generated by businesses, this County will face serious fiscal impacts. The impact to Los Angeles County will be less revenue to offset the cost of health care.
