Candidate for
Supervisor; County of Humboldt; Supervisorial District 2

Land Use

Land use policies should be based, not only on the obvious fact of population grown, but also in accommodating small business development siting needs, protecting environmental quality and--most of all--that these policies reflect what will be for the common good in the long run.

Economic Growth

We simply must create a more nurturing environment for small businesses to flourish. Cottage industries, artist entrepreneurs, service industries can all be helped through permit facilitation, incubator facilities and access to micro-loan financing, to give some examples.

Liquified Natural Gas Facility

If there is an earthquake--the likes of which visit our area every 10,000 years or so--the devastation will be great enough without adding to it the giant firestorm that results from the ignition of a gas cloud resulting from a rupture in an LNG storage tank.
