Top Priorities if Elected |
- Balance the Budget: We must collaboratively address our structural deficit with all stakeholders at the table making tough and transparent decisions.
- Economic Development: With the devastating demise of Redevelopment Agencies, we must create an economic development fund for cities to access.
- Pension Reform: I will fight for reform ensuring a sound and fair financial future for both our residents and our County employees.
