Position Papers
Redevelopment Agencies
Redevelopment Agencies are very useful when used properly. I strongly support redevelopment agencies that do not have the power of imminent domain. I just as strongly will oppose redevelopment agencies that have the power of imminent domain.
Water
Water is vital for any community to thrive or even survive. Lodi's economy is driven by agriculture which also relies heavily on water. If Lodi is to have a future in a State with a quickly growing population the leaders of Lodi MUST be willing to fight for our water, I am.
Government spending and waste
Lodi has an excellent credit rating and a track record of being a fiscally responsible steward of tax dollars. I intend to keep it that way.
