For A Better Bell...

By Ali Saleh

Two years ago, I ran for office on a reform platform because I didn't like or trust the way the city manager and the council were running the city.

Today, I am again asking for your vote for city council. We have a long way to go to rebuild Bell. The misappropriation of public funds has left our city with a large budget deficit, which threatens city services like public safety and youth and senior activities.

In addition to cleaning out city hall and bringing transparency, I will work to ensure existing and new businesses prosper, create dignified jobs for our residents, and expand programs for our youth and seniors.

But most of all, I will make sure that every penny of our tax dollars is spent responsibly and with community input. I believe my business experience and dedication to good government are exactly the skills our city needs to help create a new and better Bell.

I will be honored with your vote.
