Gerrie Schipske’s 3 R’s for A Great City Government.
Running a city should be like running a business or raising a family. First, you take care of the basics. Police. Fire. Code Enforcement. Streets. Libraries. Then you pay for the luxuries.
Long Beach has done the big-ticket spending to attract new corporations and tourists. The Aquarium of the Pacific. The Long Beach Convention Center. The Pike Project. Now it’s time to take care of the people who are already here.
Gerrie Schipske has a big vision of the little things that make a big difference in people’s lives. Streets without potholes that shake your car and sidewalks without cracks and bumps that cause you to trip. Libraries that are open because we should care as much about the people who use these services as we do the million dollar consultants that are constantly hired by the City. Hiring enough police officers because they keep our neighborhoods safe and we are tired of watching the news on television feature crime after crime in Long Beach. That’s how you run a great city…by taking care of business for the people and companies who make Long Beach great.
Gerrie Schipske is proposing 3 R’s to make Long Beach great:
· Reform Wasteful Spending. No more million dollar consultants to do the work City management is already paid to do. Investigate why Long Beach is currently spending more to service the debt of the City than it spends on the entire Police Department budget. Institute a pay-cut for the Mayor and City Council every year the budget has a deficit.
· Reduce Crime. Stop making the Police Department beg for the necessary funds to hire enough police to keep our neighborhoods safe. Fund public safety…without raising taxes. Do everything possible to drive the gangs out of Long Beach. Enforce “zero tolerance” throughout our city and in our schools.
· Restore the Quality of Life in All Our Neighborhoods. Make certain that our neighborhoods are free from noise and air pollution. Remove the blight that exists in several areas of Long Beach by strong Code enforcement. Assist residents with renovation grants.
The 5th Council District needs a Councilmember who’s not afraid to stand up for what’s right. Because a great city is worth fighting for.
