- Improving Public Safety Coordination
 - 
Our local emergency response system is ill-prepared for a major catastrophic event, such as an earthquake or terrorist attack, and the threat of terrorism has diverted critical federal resources from local coordinating activities.
 - Fixing The Tax Boomerang
 - 
Local control of tax dollars reduces waste and empowers communities.
 - Protecting Our Future
 - 
Protecting, nurturing, and educating our children is a shared priority for our community.
