Questions & Answers

1. How would you prioritize the fiscal choices the Legislature must make to align the state’s income and spending?

Increase economic growth to increase income.

2. Given our current drought condition, concern for water rights and usage is an important issue. What solutions would you support to address our water problems?

Sensors to monitor water usage and see where water is wasted is just a start.

3. California high school students rank lower than many states in student performance. What do you see as the ongoing role of the Legislature in addressing this problem?

Provide learning environments where students get excited about learning. I have over 2,000 university students. Many of my students have started companies or had significant impacts in their field.

4. What other major issues do you think the Legislature must address? What are your own priorities?

1. Jobs - grow the economy with a strong work force in the East Bay
2. Education at all levels
3. Long reaching sustainable energy production.
4. Efficient modes of production and distribution. Example: have the ports of Oakland and Richmond be distribution hubs for transporting goods by rail. Have effective high speed rail transit from Sacramento to San Jose.
5.
