Candidate for
Mayor; City of San Diego

Jobs:

To bring San Diego into the 21st century, Bob recognizes we need to rejuvenate our economy. Bob is committed to turning our port into a global maritime center. With our near-endless amount of sunshine, Bob sees San Diego's renewable energy potential by harnessing the public sector to create demand for solar power.

Education:

Bob ran his first political campaign for the San Diego School Board, which he won, going on to serve as Board President. Bob believes that the whole city should be responsible for taking care of its young from "6 to 6." Bob also strongly believes that the city should help in training individuals for the 21st century workforce.

Neighborhoods:

Bob knows that the strength of San Diego lies in our communities. As Mayor, Bob will return power to the neighborhoods and the locals who best know the issues. Bob wants to turn the Centre City Development Corporation ("CCDC") into a Neighborhood Investment Corporation, so we can start getting money into the neighborhoods and stop using public money to subsidize private profits in downtown.

Environment/Livability:

Bob recognizes that among San Diego's numerous untapped resources, our natural surroundings are one of the most important. From creating a city-wide regional wetland park to promoting mass-transit, Bob believes that we must both protect and promote our environment.

Public Employee Pensions:

Bob is the only candidate who is against the fraudulent Prop. B, the "Comprehensive Pension Reform" plan. Not only will it cost untold millions of dollars, it will also be throwing public employees under the bus, when they do not have Social Security, and the average city pension is approximately 30,000 dollars/year.

Chargers Stadium:

Like every good San Diegan, Bob loves the Chargers. But when the city can't afford to keep libraries open or fix potholes, there are limited reasons to give almost a billion dollars of taxpayer money to build a private stadium. As Mayor, Bob will be a tough negotiator with the Chargers, on behalf of all San Diegans.
