  • Extend the Las Vegas monorail system
    The Las Vegas monorail was a great idea that because of political pressures wasn't implemented to its full potential. In its current form the system doesn't service visitors effectively, because it doesn't go to the airport or downtown. Expanding the system would create jobs for a state with the highest unemployment rate in the country and transform the current system into a viable, effective system that would serve the needs of transporting Las Vegas visitors and provide a hub for future expansion to the rest of the Las Vegas valley.

  • Pension Fix Must Not Harm Retirees
    As a retired State Employee, I'm very concerned with the proposals being kicked around by the State Legislature concerning the "pension problem" in Illinois... The State is not even considering adding additional revenue to help solve this mess that was created by years of revenue shortfalls ... State workers and retirees should not be made to suffer for the mistakes of the past made by our elected officials...

  • Modification of Section 5610 of California Streets and Highway Code
    This law currently forces property owners to maintain public sidewalks fronting their property even if the damage to the sidewalk has been caused by the negligence of others. It imposes an unfair burden on property owners to take on the costs of maintenance of public property, when in nearly all other cases, maintenance of public property is the responsibility of the city, having access to both the pooled resources of the community and who hold the ability to tax and sell bonds for such repairs.
