2017

Prizio's campaign website included the following themes for 2017:

“	Your Voice While serving on O’Hara council, I saw the benefit of working directly with constituents. As your councilwoman, I will attend local government meetings in every municipality of our district so I can listen to your concerns and be your voice on county council. Transparency No matter what council does, every action it takes must be transparent, and as a resident, you deserve to know how your tax dollars are being spent. Comprehensive details from each meeting of both the full body and subcommittees should be published online so that county residents can verify that each decision is made with integrity. As your voice, I will fight to make sure that council acts in the best interests of our community, not wealthy donors. Fracking I have several concerns about fracking and gas drilling in our area. In addition to robust monitoring of drilling sites in our region, county council must make sure that information about where fracking occurs and what chemicals are used is made available. This can be done in a way that both protects proprietary fracking fluid compositions and informs the public of local contaminants. On County Council, I will propose transparency in mineral rights ownership and an online database where all mineral rights ownership information is accessible. Affordable Housing Our district is home to areas prime for redevelopment. On County Council, I will fight for Tax-Increment Financing (TIF) and Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance (LERTA) grants to be used in the neighborhoods that need it, and I will be skeptical of luxury projects receiving taxpayer dollars. We want to make sure our taxes help our communities instead of wealthy developers. On council, I’ll fight to make sure that happens. Clean Water Like clean water, good government is transparent. Pittsburgh’s water crisis demonstrates the danger of privatization, especially when residents don’t have the information they need to keep their families safe from lead-contaminated water. Council must take bolder action to gather information, inform the public, and prevent heavy metal poisoning before it occurs.	”
—Anita Prizio (2017)
