Environment / Energy Residents pay premium rates while the system rots. 156 miles of pipe, 14,500 connections, 29 million in stolen funds. It's time to make the water system whole — and make water bills honest. Infrastructure / Transportation The Gateway Cities fiber network is coming. Compton should own its last-mile connection — delivering affordable high-speed internet to every household while generating millions in city revenue. Taxes / Budget Compton hasn't produced timely audited financial statements for over a decade. That ends immediately. Every dollar in, every dollar out — published online, searchable, accountable. If they can't show where the money went, I'll find out why. Infrastructure / Transportation Real-time financial dashboards. Searchable spending data. Monthly reports to the public. When you can see where every dollar goes, it's a lot harder for someone to steal 3.7 million. Infrastructure / Transportation I'll work with the council to create a prioritized capital improvement plan — the city hasn't updated theirs since 2014 — and put that money where it belongs: in the ground, fixing pipes and roads.
