Position Papers
Straight Talk, not Double Talk
Ever feel like you got sold one thing, but later find out you bought another? In Thousand Oaks, there are far too many examples of "T.O. Double Talk."
Drawing the Line
We need to draw the line on urban sprawl and on allowing our protected parkland to be turned into houses. I am fighting to make sure that we protect our open space resources.
Doing the Right Thing
There is constant pressure by the development interests in our city to go with the flow. The pro-developer forces don't want the tough questions asked and will get rid of those of us who do.
