Other facts

I'm a retired scientist. My wife and I have lived in Half Moon Bay for 14 years. I am appalled at the way the current Council has conducted itself by ignoring inconvenient laws and regulations that affect our environment, engaging in back room deals, spending unnecessarily and focusing only on short-term fixes. I'll work to keep our coastal assets from illegal development and also give developers a clear sense of constraints so they can plan for intelligent development. I'll restore the city's reputation by dealing honestly and cooperatively with others and honor the Coastal Act. I love Half Moon Bay and want it restored and preserved as a beautiful city and a great place to live.
