Candidate Chris Fuentes

Thank you Los Cerritos Community News for providing this important forum! When you cast your ballot, via Absentee or on March 8th, please consider me, Christopher F. “Chris” Fuentes for one of your three votes. I’m running for Cerritos City Council to provide a voice for Cerritos residents who want to see the city; Cut Administrative Waste, Deal With City Maintenance Problems, Increase Tree Maintenance/Pruning and Develop a sensible tree program that includes residents in the process, Deal With the Multi-Million Dollar Annual Loss at the Performing Arts Center (Corporate Sponsor or Public/Private Partnership?), Address Crime; Vandalism, Gang Activity, Property Crimes, Restore the council to a Volunteer position of Public Service NOT Self Service, Rein in Council Travel, Expenses, Percs/Freebies, End No-Bid City Contracts, Increase Library Hours on Sunday and during the week so that people can enjoy our library to the fullest extent. ACKNOWLEDGE and Deal With the end of Redevelopment instead of writing letters to the Governor and spending big money on high priced lawyers to “fight the State”, Improve and enhance Adaptive Recreation opportunities, Accelerate the return of our Bike Lanes, Provide Online Parking Passes, “RUSH” ticket discounts at the Performing Arts Center- we pay IN ADVANCE for every show and SUBSIDIZE every seat- 91% of the tickets are sold outside of Cerritos- so why should empty seats go to waste when residents can pay $10 bucks to enjoy a show and develop interest in attending CCPA events? How will we pay for increased/enhanced programs and services? By SAVING on Administrative Costs, Ending City Subsidies and Giveaways and Dealing with Annual Loss at the CCPA. Most importantly I think the focus on LOCAL matters should be the council’s TOP Priority. I have complete faith and confidence in Cerritos’ future and know that creating an environment of Transparency and Accountability at City Hall will provide the basis for increased citizen participation, bringing residents into the process and progress from a Staff-Driven City to one that places CERRITOS RESIDENTS at the TOP of the chain of command at City Hall. Please consider casting one of your three votes for #2 on your ballot: Christopher F. “Chris” Fuentes HYPERLINK "http://www.chris4cerritos.com" www.chris4cerritos.com
