Why am I running for BRea City Council?By Steven VargasCandidate for Council Member; City of Brea |
This information is provided by the candidate | |
Response to Brea Old & New website...Brea faces some of the most serious financial and public policy issues in its history. My voting record as a former council member consistently supported financial security and accountability. I have the leadership and practical experience to hit the ground running and to tackle difficult issues now! Brea is the economic engine of North Orange County. We must lead by example with real pension reform and maintain a vibrant business community. We must start living within our means and reverse the trend of excessive executive compensation by enacting more conservative pay formulas and accounting for pensions responsibly. In the case of the Yorba Linda Police contract, services were rendered and payments made over the past 42 years. Yorba Linda has paid the pension liabilities owed for their officers; the amount due from Brea to CalPers is greater than $70,000,000. I am running for City Council in Brea to ensure we focus on our future financial health by addressing our past financial missteps with action now, not next election. Like you, I believe that Brea is the greatest place in California to live, work and raise a family. Let's keep it that way, preserving our way of life and preparing us for a bright future full of opportunity. |
