The people of North Orange County need stronger leadership to rebuild our struggling economy and bring jobs to our communities. My Economic Renewal Plan is a comprehensive approach to restoring the prosperity we once enjoyed.
Harry Sidhu's Action Plan for Economic Renewal
Creating Jobs
- Reduce Government Bureaucracy--Streamline county operations to eliminate costly government red tape that prevents employers from hiring more workers.
- Support Tax Relief--Lower the county's excessive permit and business fees to help small businesses thrive and attract new companies to Orange County.
- Encourage Investment--Support a reduction in capital gains taxes to increase private investment monies available for business expansion and new construction.
- Expand Job Training--Create new apprenticeship and training partnerships with Orange County employers and universities to provide more opportunities for our youth. * Organize County Business Fairs to help local residents find jobs.
- Support Local Businesses--Comprehensively review the County Economic Development Strategy. Assist employers in finding new customer markets for their products and services.
- Promote International Opportunities--Attract international trade and professional jobs by actively promoting Orange County as a preferred business destination for overseas firms.
- Stop Lawsuit Abuse--Crack down on lawyers who file frivolous "class action" lawsuits. These lawsuits cost taxpayers and small businesses millions of dollars every year.
Reforming County Government
- No Pensions for County Politicians--Oppose government pensions for county politicians. Harry has signed a binding pledge NOT to accept a pension as our County Supervisor.
- Eliminate Wasteful Spending--Cut excessive salaries, travel and perks for county administrators. Require performance audits for all county agencies to identify budget savings.
- Reduce County Pension Debt--Support financial reforms to reduce unsustainable county pension debt.
Oppose Government Bailouts--Public dollars should NOT be used to reward private mismanagement!
- No Tax Hikes--Harry has signed a "No Tax Increase" Pledge. He believes North Orange County families are already paying too much.
