Taxpayer subsidized private development in the form of Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) is a perversion of the intent of the legislation. It's use diminishes the tax revenues available to our schools and county government for an extended period of time, sometimes up to 20 or 25 years or more.

During the month of May, Arlington Animal Services euthanized almost 500 cats. We don't know how many of them were feral, because the records don't tell us that, but what we do know is that any feral cat that comes to AAS is euthanized almost immediately, since they are not adoptable. Using a low end estimate for what it costs a municipality to trap and kill an animal, Arlington likely spent $30,000 in May alone to kill cats. There are approximately 60,000 feral/stray cats in Arlington. Trap-and-kill methods cannot possibly keep up with the birth rate in that large a cat population. TNR is the only humane and fiscally responsible way to deal with this problem.

Assault riffles to kill deer????? I don't think so. You have to hunt with them. GIVE ME A BREAK

We the people demand an ammendment to the U.S. constitution to prohibit corporations from making campaign contributions to any person running for public office, directly or indirectly. We also insist that there be a limit to the ammount a private individual can contribute to the campaign funds of elected officials or parties. No one person should be permitted to contribute more than $100,000 in total per year to all the campaigns they choose to support. Our elections are not for sale. We will choose our candidates based on their ability to serve the people who elect them, not on their ability to raise advertising funds. Campaign spending must be fully disclosed, regulated and limited.

There are nine San Francisco Bay Area Counties. Marin County is one of if not the only county without term limits. Marin is home to the most undeveloped wild lands in the Bay Area. There are tens of thousands of acres of open space developers want. Marin supervisors are often supported by pro development groups from as far away as Los Angles. One supervisor has sat for sixteen years in a district that was specifically laid out by his predecessor to be impossible to beat an incumbent (he just won a fifth term out spending his rival by many times). The predecessor retired after 30 years and could never be dislodged from office. Marin County deserves new ideas and eight years is enough to effect change while in office. All of Marin County will benefit from this change.
