Administrative Priorities

Please explain in a total of 100 words or less, your top two or three priorities if elected. If they require additional funding for implementation, please explain how you would obtain this funding.
- Climate Change: This IS THE MOST serious issue we are facing today. It is a direct threat to our security, health, economy and existence. I would strengthen the rules and regulations of the EPA. Health Care: We must have Medicare expanded for everyone. A 1% income tax on the top 1% earners can help fund this. Infrastructure: I would propose diverting some of the existing gasoline tax money to fund high speed and light rail. To help manage our water, I would support efforts to allow businesses and homes to reuse gray water for irrigation.
