Top Priorities if Elected |
- The district must pursue innovative, attainable economic development. Current plans for the Redwood Marine Terminal must be revised.
- We must realize that this is the 21st century, and determine the direction for future growth that best fits our bay and community.
- Protection and enhancement of our natural resources has to be a guiding principle in our planning.

- Pursuing "attainable, innovative" economic development.
-
The district's Strategic Plan mandates this, but current plans for development are neither attainable nor innovative.
- Shipping Channel Depths Need to Returned to 36'
-
The channel deepening done in 1999 - 2000 was done in anticipation of shipping which has not occurred. The increased depth, and consequent increased water flow, is damaging the bay.
