Strengthening community planning and representation for Live Oak and Soquel will
mobilize the talent in these communities to acquire the needed resources, such as adequate police, fire, community planning, better
roads and facilities, and create affordable housing throughout the county, not just in these communities,
for those who work in the greater Santa Cruz area.
Communities like Live Oak and Soquel should have a citizen planning board
who will function as a planning commission for their area.
Working to pass SB 840, Kuehl, the single-payer health
insurance bill pending before the State Legislature will save the County and local businesses millions of dollars
and provide affordable health insurance for the thousands of uninsured in Santa Cruz County. It will also reimburse
the county millions of dollars for health care provided through county facilities, helping to reduce the
monetary short-fall created by recession.

Vote no on 98; Yes on 99: If Prop 98 passes, rent control will
be eliminated, community improvements in water projects, fire stations, parks and other city and county infrastructure will
be crippled. Proposition 98 elevates individual property rights over the legitimate needs of
the community and will end rent control in the over 3,000 mobile home units in District 1.
Proposition 99 is a reasonable alternative. Oregon found out
how damaging a measure like Prop 98 was and two years later passed a measure similar to Prop 99 to undo the damage wrought
by the earlier measure. California can avoid this costly mistake by voting no on 98 and
yes on 99.
