Smart Voter Political Philosophy for Michael Touhey

Candidate for
Council Member; City of West Covina

This information is provided by the candidate

PUBLC SAFETY - PUBLIC SAFETY WILL CONTINUE TO BE MY #1 PRIORITY. I WILL IMPROVE SERVICE & LOWER RESPONSE TIMES. VIOLENT CRIME IS DOWN 31%. THAT'S WHY I HAVE THE SUPPORT AND ENDORSEMENT OF BOTH THE WEST COVINA FIREFIGHTERS ASSOCIATION AND WEST COVINA POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION.

GRAFFITI - GRAFFITI NEEDS TO BE REMOVED PROMPTLY AND AGRESSIVELY PROSECUTE THOSE VIOLATORS. 246 ARRESTS SO FAR THIS YEAR, 71% FOR FELONIES.

BUDGET - WE NEED EXPERIENCED LEADERS TO CUT WASTE DURING DIFFICULT TIMES. TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE, I PERSONALLY CUT MY OWN PAY AND TRAVEL FOR 2008-2009 & 2009-2010 $12,000 THAT GOES BACK TO THE TAXPAYERS.

LOWER TAXES - WEST COVINA IS STILL ONE OF THE LOWEST COST CITIES TO LIVE AND I WILL KEEP IT THAT WAY. I OPPOSE ANY NEW TAXES.

FAMILY VALUES - I WILL KEEP THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN WEST COVINA THAT WE HAVE COME TO ENJOY AND EXPECT.

SENIORS - I SUPPORT MORE AFFORDABLE SENIOR HOUSING AND WOULD LIKE TO IMPROVE SENIOR SERVICES WE PROVIDE.
