Issue: Limiting Fees & Taxes
Jon's core values make him a staunch fiscal conservative. He carries those values into his work on the Orange CIty Council with a tough stance against ever more fees and taxes being placed on the backs of Orange residents - especially as a way for local city government to balance budgets recently ravaged in the current economic downturn.
Jon firmly believes that in order to find the long term fiscal security so desperately sought by elected officials a systemic change is needed in the way government is currently managed. This means limiting government. Jon has repeatedly voted against raising fees and taxes to balance the books.
Issues: Property Rights
Jon's record on protecting the rights of Orange Property Owners and Businesses leaders is clear. Tax paying citizens should be protected from intrusive public policy when it comes to their homes and places of business. With few exceptions, Jon has stood against use of caprious use of Emminent Domain andoften seeks to new solutions that benefit both the city and the citizen.
