We need to be more organized for the next election as we have the numbers in population but lack conviction to wield our voting power. The East Lost Big!

For a progressive and tough City Hall that will find a way against odds to balance out our housing imbalance created the pass 8 years and also balance out housing vs high paying job developments to put us on even playing field with our neighbors in any arena (top notch housing from both end of the spectrum, top notch schools K-12, top notch job centers/complexes, upscale retail to go with the big box variety). We need to be multi dimensional when it comes to future revenue streams as we cannot continue to rely on impact fees as the City approaches buildout. VOTE November 4th:

School: Cherrier, Lee and Tomlinson
Council: Zukoski, Abulencia and OK Hildenbrand (reluctantly)
Mayor: Sbranti (I feel he can be an affective leader if he can break free of the outgoing administration)

He leads a Company of maybe a hundred, our City Hall leads a City of 40K plus, who should be more powerful and calling the shots? He wants something in OUR house, he must give up something else to get it. It is OUR house afterall and not his. Yes if prime estate lots (a product we have none of) can be sacrificed for a school building, why can’t we sacrifice some High Density home lots (which we have tons of) for the same in the East?

At least set the land aside so we can talk about this another day instead of allowing more homes to be built on the last remaining possibilities.

If she can pull that off, we should be able to do the same for our second high school.
