Answer from Cindy Montanez:
I've been a lifelong community advocate and change agent and as your next Councilwoman, I offer visionary leadership, a proven record of achievements and implementing reforms, and I am independent and courageous enough to take action in the best interest of all Angelenos - especially those in the Sixth District.
Answer from Cindy Montanez:
The first thing I would do is convene an advisory group with city employees, community leaders, business leaders, and members of the city's executive managemenet team to immediately begin to discuss and propose how to best address the rapidly growing budget deficit.
I would also task this diverse and talented team with developing procedures to build a financial future that will most effectively serve Angelenos next year and in the future.
Then, I would determine whether the city council is willing to move forward with these solutions or if these proposals should be put forth for a vote of the people so that we can move forward to living within our means.
Answer from Cindy Montanez:
As your next Councilwoman, I will fight to demand that Valley residents get our fair share from City Hall to repair our streets, clean our neighborhoods and maintain them, and improve public safety to reduce crime and gang activities so that our families can feel safe and thrive.
