Be gentle with the Earth ……….
Santa Cruz County, the richest place in the world, but decades of poor management and reactive vision have a huge toll. The County is $12 million in deficit currently, up from $6 million last year. We must now, more than ever, make the highest and best use of our resources and depend on ourselves, living here within our local means and local economy.

A rational basis must support our actions and expenditures. Our Community must be safe first. There is no rational basis for a Santa Cruz “Sanctuary City” policy, like in Watsonville. Likewise, there is no rationality supporting a $100 million global warming desalination plant in Santa Cruz. There are better alternatives.

We need change. This change must start in this Third District, for too many decades the obstruction. I have the vision and ideas for us here, and on more than just water. That, and my children and grandchildren, is why I keep running.

Please review my 35 year history of regional community vision, participation, and projects from Pogonip, through Pajaro High School to Elkhorn Slough Wetlands preservation at www.dougforsupervisor.com, www.MontereyBayConservancy.org & www.pogonip.org
