A note from Mike:
As I look back on my first term serving you I am proud of the things I have been able to accomplish even though we have seen the worst economic times since the Great Depression. Looking forward to the next four years I am confident in my ability to influence the course of our City in a positive way and to provide the leadership the Council needs to continue to move Riverside forward.
We have made great strides in fixing and adding to our infrastructure through the Riverside Renaissance Project. Riverside has more and better parks, libraries, community centers, and entertainment than it ever has, and there is more in the works. Now we must make jobs our primary focus. We need to retain and grow our strong job base, but that is not enough. Riverside is uniquely poised to attract new high tech and clean manufacturing industries and the high quality jobs they will bring. We have very competitive utility rates, available new buildings and space for more. If we do this right we can create thousands of new jobs so that our young adults will not have to leave Riverside to find good work. This is our future. We must seize it now.
