“We’re in This Together”
A GOLF COURSE TO NOWHERE – Spending more than $110,000 per month, of taxpayer money, is shameful. OUR TAX DOLLARS being spent to support a restaurant and a bar – competing with private sector business is wrong.
POLICE and FIRE PROTECTION – must increase… Our population has grown – public safety has not. While we spend millions on a country club we can certainly afford to protect our citizens.
JOBS – Help businesses create jobs by getting government out of the way. Work to create innovative job training programs that will provide quality manufacturing and
industrial jobs in our town.
WATER – Bills are out of control in the Apple Valley Ranchos Water district. What has the current council done to keep water bills in check? I will demand answers from the Council, Apple Valley Ranchos Water Company, from the Public Utilities Commission and Mojave Water Agency. When will you be forced to stop watering your lawn or empty the pool? It’s happening now to your neighbors. What kind of Council would allow seniors and families to suffer these water rate increases?
NO NEW TAX PLEDGE – I have signed the pledge.
I will be transparent, accountable and ethical as your Councilmember.
No special deals - Fewer closed door meetings
Stop out of control water costs!
Stop paying more than $110,000 a month for a country club!
The BS Stops Here!
Established in 1951, Apple Valley Fire District protects 206 square miles - 76 of which are incorporated by the town of Apple Valley, located 95 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
Five staffed stations and two unstaffed stations support Apple Valley's population of 90,000 as well as its surrounding communities. Apple Valley FD provides fire and EMS services, as well as HazMat and an urban search and rescue team. In addition, Apple Valley provides mutual aid and has recently obtained an OES engine to further assistance across the state.
Like so many locals, Apple Valley is grappling with California's current economic crisis and their local's current goal is to work closely with management to regain constant staffing.
Currently, Apple Valley Fire has rotating brownouts of one to two fire stations to cut overtime costs.
This puts an added burden on the remaining fire stations, increases response times and increases mutual aid assistance from neighboring cities.
