Candidate for
Mayor; City of Milpitas

We must ensure the financial strength and stability of the City and we must make the choices that balance requirements with resources. We must maintain responsive and quality Police and Fire Departments while staying within budgetary constraints and using innovative solutions. We must ensure ethical and open government that instills the residents' confidence in their City's elected officials and staff. We must fight to eliminate the odors from the Newby Island facility and look into the possibility of closing the site. We must develop solutions to ensure Milpitas has reliable sources of water for all residents and businesses. We must continue to have great partnership with the School District to promote quality education with adequate resources. The City should do its share in environmental protection and preservation. Economic development should be continually enhanced through programmed business development and retention; city should be able to compete globally. Use of technology for city operations and services should help streamline many city functions.
