Candidate for
Member; Bay Point Municipal Advisory Council; 2 Year Short Term

Local Schools

Our Bay Point Schools are some of the lowest performing schools in the Mt. Diablo School District. President Bush underfunded his "No Child Left Behind" by 27 billion dollars. California would have gotten about 3 billion. Bay Point children (and schools) are left behind. We can't do much, but we can do something.

HOLD DEVELOPERS TO HIGHEST STANDARDS

Th Bart station stimulated the county to establish a redevelopment zone here in Bay Point. Much of Bay Point is included in the zone. The BART connects us with the world. It is now possible to step on the BART in Bay Point and Step off the bus in Grand Central Station 8 hours later, all on mass transport. Development in this zone should reflect our aspiration that this district enforces state-of-the-art development standards.

OPEN UP THE MAC MEETINGS

The Municipal Advisory Council (MAC)serves as a liason between the various local unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County and the District Supervisor, in our case Federal Glover. The MAC may be either appointed or elected. Ours is elected. We shoulkd try to use the MAC as a conduit of the people's input and pressure, not as an adjunct to county government.
