Dear Lois Wolk:
We hope you will do a great job in this and next four year term. Please consider these matters:
A: Bring open government back. Create a fair and safe environment to share innovative ideas.
B: Keep protecting: California seniors and California environment.
C: Creating job growth legislation that need not cost tax dollars or hurt the environment.
D: Bring more fairness back to economic development. Stop economic segregation taking tax dollars from one region, only to then spend it to improve other regions. The regions that paid the bill meanwhile got worse, e.g. the Fairfield business district is being taken over by the new "Business Center" near Costco.
E: Crack down harder on cyber criminals.
F: Educating low skilled unemployed:
• Make it easier for those on the dole to get an education online, versus sucking up tax dollars. Online education need not cost much. Help those who want to get out of their rut.
• Free programs are already out there from Stanford University, Harvard, MIT, University of Chicago, Innovation Institute, Invention Springboard, and FixFairfield. Problem is people on the dole are not being directed to learn a skill so they can help pay taxes like the rest of us.
• Lois, how will you handle lazy people who just complain, don’t want to learn and suck up tax dollars and create ill will?
G: Help Fairfield City Hall Keep Its Promises To Voters - For example
• Help revitalize the main gateway to downtown Fairfield. This is about 13 years behind schedule. Review the suggestions for improvement that don't require tax dollars.
• Rename and rezone West Texas Street so clean tech manufacturers can create local jobs along with the car repair facilities. Clean tech manufacturing includes new desk top 3D printers that cheaply produce plastic inventions, that can later be mass produced in Solano Business Park’s industrial zoning.
• Solano old boy network investors can profit as the overall Solano economy grows.
H: Bring the friendliness and open mindedness back to local government. Stop the Fairfield dog and pony show political mirage.
Lois, the above are just some of the things thousands of local voters I met face to face have wanted. I hope Lois Wolk will handle. We have little choice on the matter as nobody has chosen to run against Lois.
Wish I had more time to polish up this draft. But between having to make a living, and fight off the ugly pranksters on this blog, I have little time left. Why aren’t more people involved in our constructive democratic process? Perhaps the nasty cyber bullies are scaring people from speaking up? But not speaking up is just what the most bullying force wants on this blog. Don’t cave in, we still have a democracy.
Lois, you’ll need to take charge and make things happen. Hope you can unite the democrats, republicans and followers of Ron Paul plus other smart innovative thinkers.
We never got a chance to talk in recent years. Yet, I thank you for your kind consideration to these and the many other points of view voters have and will be expressing on this Daily Republic blog.
