I believe that I could do a better job of representing the people of Escondido, I do recognize that the current city council has done some positive things. On this page I will cover some of the resolutions that I have agreed with and some of the ones I disagree with on principal.
Positive accomplishments:
Voted to follow State law to include fluoride in the drinking water
Convinced a developer to build a luxury hotel downtown.
Did not lose the Palomar Pomerado Hospital to another city.
Approved a new cement plant that will bring in $180,000 in annual sale tax revenue.
Encouraged many residents to become involved in politics.
More to come:
Negative accomplishments:
Support for the failed ballot initiative for a State Border Police
Contributed $16.5 million city funds to aid developer to build hotel
Unfair use of eminent domain to aid private development
Using only fines instead of incentives for the shopping cart ordinance
Using downtown commercial land for more condominiums
Expensive support for a law to ban landlords from renting to illegal immigrants
Proposing raising city services fees after giving huge raises to the city manager and city attorney
