I support strict adherence to structurally balanced budgets and to the GANN limit, as moderating parameters on the County's appetite for compensation increases -- which are out of sync with both inflation and population growth. I support timely public notice of compensation decisions and immediate public transparency of all quantitative metrics related to compensation & benefits (including comparisons to budgetary ratios). I support immediate compensation caps for politicians and the most egregiously compensated executives. Learn more
I demand that California pension funds use realistically achievable discount rates immediately (closer to the risk-free rate of return). Learn more

I support return of traditional academic disciplines and curricula focused on college preparation and the high-skilled jobs of the future. Learn more
