Answers to 10 Questions All City Council Candidates Should Answer
The details of my qualifications and platform can be found in this document. I publish the UpGrade Atascadero web site about civic issues facing Atascadero. Earlier this year, on the web site I posed " Ten Questions for City Council Candidates", in order to elicit from candidates a description of their qualifications and platforms. When I decided to run myself, I realized that I had better answer the same questions I've challenged others to address. So I present my answers below.
