All The Pieces
I believe we should keep the rail lines and rights-of-way in single public ownership, but not spend more taxpayer money to restore rail service without a better cost/benefit ratio.
Thoughts on law enforcement and its funding?
The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department covers an unusually large area, especially in the Second District, and more deputies and funding are needed. I’d work creatively to find additional funding.
Under what conditions should owners of TPZ parcels be allowed to build homes on their land?
Small TPZ owners should be allowed to build with a CDF conversion permit. Ranchers should have flexibility for family and worker housing. Industrial timberland should be maintained for our resource economy. TPZ [gives owners] a 90 percent tax reduction to keep those lands in timber production.
How much do you figure you’ll spend on the election? Where will the money come from?
I’ll probably spend $35,000 on this election. I received $10,000 from the Blue Lake Rancheria, $3,500 from family members, and most of the rest in amounts ranging from $10 to $2,000 from friends and supporters.
