Collapse all
|The founding president of the Lake Balboa Neighborhood Council, Bill served for several years as the State Chair for Sierra Club California Air Quality Committee, never losing a priority bill.
With the LBNC, he helped negotiate and secure the community's legal name change and also secured $50,000 in funding for emergency preparedness bins for use by first responders and qualified CERT. Those bins are still in place and helped launch an emergency preparedness movement in the Valley that is referred to as the best in Los Angeles. He believes every street in our district needs to be prepared for The Big One and will continually support and push stakeholders to readiness.
Bill believes transparency is the key to good government. Taxpayers should be treated like adults. If elected, he will continue his practice of attending monthly neighborhood council general board meetings in order to problem-solve with stakeholders and leaders.
Bill is running to restore LA city government into the hands of the people and believes in the American Dream for all.
- Every Parent's Worst Nightmare Is Gun Violence and Mass Shootings. We don't need or want four million guns to protect four million citizens. Los Angeles needs to be far more proactive and productive in ending gun violence.
- Criminalization Is Not The Solution To Homelessness. Housing Is. Taxpayer dollars are being wasted at the expense of public health and safety. We need state and federal funds along with a Homelessness Czar to provide housing efficiently.
- Los Angeles City Hall Corruption Has Become A Disease That We Need To Wipe Out. Too many FBI investigations. My 30 x 24 Plan will cut councilmember pay by more than half while doubling councilmembers and districts by 2024
