Here’s what better means.
Good jobs
More ways to earn a living close to home.
Build paid training and apprenticeship programs with schools, unions, and employers.
Honest government
Know where your money goes.
Publish monthly reports that explain City spending in plain language.
We’ll seek the votes and funding, and report what gets done.

Every promise shows what we’d do, when it could happen, who decides, how it could be paid for, and how we’ll track it. “Proposed” means the votes and funding don’t exist yet.

THE HONEST PART
A plan needs a majority.
Either of us can introduce a policy, request a hearing, ask questions, and vote consistently with this plan. Most budgets, ordinances, contracts, fees, land actions, and development agreements require at least three Council votes. The City Manager directs staff. Grants, partnerships, rate studies, labor rules, and legal review shape what can move and when.
Our promise is to introduce the work, organize public support, publish every vote, and report what moved, what stalled, and why.
