| Written Voters' Pamphlet Statement Submitted by Candidate | |
|
I was born in Shanghai, China on December 28, 1926; served in the U.S. Air Force (1948-1952); graduated from Seattle University — Bachelor of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering and General Science (1966); retired from Seattle City Light — electrical engineer (1989). REASON FOR RUNNING. Seattle's mayor must be able to deal with the City's future by anticipating, analyzing, and acting with realistic solutions on any issue. I have the background to perform that role and, as a retired City Light engineer, especially as it relates to the utility's policies, rates and crises. I will end City Hall's current guiding principle that "the end justifies the means." It means eradicating the abuses of government; making City Hall accountable by publishing fiscal and performance audits; establishing fiscal discipline; and restoring the people's confidence in their elected officials. REAL CHANGE. I am not seeking any endorsements. Your vote will be my mandate to use your taxes for good government, rather than for the "good" of special interests. I will "clean house" by asking for the resignation of all city department heads, which will eliminate the entrenched "business-as-usual" syndrome in City government. To be fair, they will be considered for reinstatement should they apply for the positions they vacate. PRINCIPLES. My administration will be based on three principles: accountability, political integrity, and fiscal discipline. As Mayor, I'll underwrite them with my experience and expertise — 20 years at City Light and 30 years in political activism. They will be the foundation of common sense solutions for bringing the city's debt and taxes under control; addressing the problems and needs of the police and fire departments; encouraging economic development; repairing race relations; solving problems of the homeless; and affordable housing. BASIC CIVIC NEEDS. I will also advocate developing an energy plan for City Light; setting up an emergency preparedness plan for Seattle's residents; establishing City Council district elections; and appointing an ombudsman. RECENT ACHIEVEMENT. I worked with an attorney to successfully litigate the City's lack of rules and procedures for public hearings. CIVIC ACTIVITIES. Co-authored statements for the Seattle Voters Pamphlet…Chair of CARITAS, a tutoring and assistance service …Employee-elected Member, King County Personnel Board…Member, State Board for Community College Education…Chair of Shareholders of Seattle, a group opposed to Seattle's indiscriminate use of bonds and levies. Working together, we can do the impossible.
