We need to keep Morro Bay healthy.

By William "Bill" Peirce

We are facing some tough budget years. The state government is continuing to raid our treasury. We'll need to make tough decisions.

We will need to increase our revenues from other sources including sales tax and transient occupancy taxes, not to mention doing some significant belt tightening.

We may need to cut some services and possibly reduce our city workforce. We will need to balance our budget and spend your tax dollars as wisely as possible.

I will work to reduce costs without reducing essential services to our residents. I will fight to keep our police and fire departments well trained, properly equipped and responsive to your needs.
