Infrastructure / Transportation Existing roadways are congested and stronger traffic control measures must be taken. I will support the addition of the Empire Ranch interchange to ensure that traffic flow can be better managed. Taxes / Budget We must plan for a solid revenue stream to maintain our community and ensure that we can balance our city’s budget and restore much needed services which have been markedly cut over the last several years. Infrastructure / Transportation The proposed further expansion beyond our current City boundaries is unwarranted. It will pull currently strained resources, such as water, public safety services and maintenance of public amenities away from existing and already planned future growth S-50, and will increase traffic. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Keeping our citizens safe must be one of our local government’s top priorities. To that end, I believe we need to invest in our fire & police departments and ensure that they have the resources needed to battle crime & handle emergencies.
