2015
Palomino's campaign website highlighted the following themes for the 2015 election:
| “ |
As your Commissioner I promise to… – Preserve, Promote and Improve our Parks and greenspace for our families to enjoy – Support Responsible Development that enhances the Quality of Life of our Neighborhoods – Create and Promote Safer Streets that will improve traffic flow and rid congestion As your Commissioner, it is my job to make your lives easier whether you are a resident, tourist or a business owner. As a native of the same neighborhood and the same city district, I can tell you that residents are exhausted and frustrated from having to fight for basic city services that are automatic anywhere else. I want to streamline the process that resolves the ongoing problems in our neighborhoods. I want an open door policy. A good commissioner solicits comments from their constituents but a great commissioner sends out staff to actively survey and collect information on the needs of the community to resolve problems before they grow out of control. My goal is to be that kind of great commissioner. I want to create a world-class business climate that is year-long, not just seasonal. We need to develop industry that brings permanent career opportunities and not just temporary jobs. When our children graduate from our nationally-recognized education system, they do not have any choice but to leave to find work in another city. This is one of the biggest complaints I hear about the City of Miami. We are not welcoming to families. We need to make sure that Miami is not just a place to work and play but also stay. We must deal with the issue of transience and make Miami a place where the next generation and new families want to stay. I want to fix our streets and infrastructure that has been neglected. I want our kids to have places to go and be kids. Our kids need safe parks and not busy streets to play on. As an educator, I know that time for a child is much more precious than an adults, so when our city delays on the urgent needs of our community is affects them that much more. How a City prioritizes the lives of its children demonstrates how it prioritizes its future and by that measure our City has a failing grade with respect to our children. I want to change how the City receives public input. Part of the job of commissioner should be to make it easier for residents and stakeholders to tell its public servants the problems they pay taxes to be addressed. I want people to take their rightful role in how the City works so they can make it easier for them to do their job and for our lives to move forward. We need to expect more. We deserve better. As you commissioner, I will restore a common sense approach to our City. [11] |
