Our number one challenge during the next Simi Valley Mayor’s term is that we keep our Simi Valley fiscally sound in spite of the state’s fiscal crisis. It is interesting to see all the new programs brought forth by the City of Simi Valley since our campaign announcement in early February. A real question is why did it take twelve years for the City to react? We need a city council that is proactive not reactive!

Last week, Mayor Paul Miller writes a letter to the editor in the Simi Valley Acorn stating his intent is not to give support to a candidate, but to “educate and inform the citizens of Simi Valley.” According to the mayor, staff concluded that E-Verify has a 56 percent failure rate, which he compared to the flip of a coin.
