Strong Leadership for a Stronger Future

By Richard Dennis O'Brien

I believe in Riverbank and I believe the best is yet to come in our future. Riverbank needs leadership to move forward with integrity and intelligence.

I believe in Riverbank and I believe the best is yet to come in our future. Riverbank needs leadership to move forward with integrity and intelligence on all projects.

We can ill afford to undertake projects that are not researched or inspected and continue to throw money into these projects to make them right.

We can not pay for projects that add no value while the safeties of the city employees are at risk. We can not fund projects and not have them completed. I have the leadership to ensure all aspects of projects are review and understood. I have the commitment to oversee the projects we approve and ensure they are completed on timer and on or under budget.

I have the Courage to take on the tough fiscal challenges that we will face in the near future. If we do not act soon we can cripple our financial possibilities.

I have the Integrity to transform the current role of city government into the business of city government where customer service is their highest priority.

There are better ways to help us not only weather the financial storm but also to position ourselves to thrive in these times of economic uncertainty. We must be prepared to take advantage of the up turn in our economy. We must capitalize on the remaining stimulus funds available. We need to solicit our state and federal representatives for support of our green initiative programs. We can become a regional leader.

As your mayor, the city of Riverbank will aggressively pursue new companies and jobs, while working hard to ensure that existing businesses receive the support they need to prosper and grow.

Riverbank will work closer and more aggressively with the Chamber of Commerce to ensure Riverbank is on the minds of every CEO/President who is looking to expand their operations.

I am confident that we can build the best future for Riverbank and we all need to do is make the best decisions.

Vote for Richard O'Brien - Mayor on November 3rd.

I have faith in the city of Riverbank and I have faith in our tomorrow. Together we can build a stronger future.
