Questions & Answers

1. Did you support Measure F in November 2005? If not, please discuss the adequacy of Sierra Madre's volunteer fire and EMT services.

No. I opposed Measure F because it cost too much and put the burden on property tax. The Fire Department and EMTs are excellent, but we need to have paramedics immediately -- more than 20 percent of the population is retired. The cost should go on the Police Department Budget to hire an outside company to provide paramedics.

2. How can Sierra Madre best achieve the goal of hillside preservation?

Keep doing what it is doing.

3. Which of the following sources of revenue would you favor to avoid a budget shortfall in Sierra Madre: parcel tax; utility tax; assessment district; leasing of water services?

I would reduce the budget.
