"Speakers:

Jonathan Zachariou.

Jonathan is running against Roger Dickinson in Assembly District 7.  He is the son of Greek immigrants and through his ties to family still in Greece he has “witnessed firsthand the sequential violations of sound principles which brought about not only economic tragedy but also good people to despair.”  He states “That doesn’t have to be our story!”  He will tell you, in his own words, what he will do as your assemblyman to ensure a course correction here in California.

Jim Baker. 

Jim has, over the last decade, fought to hold fiscally responsible and accountable to its ratepayers.  The Water District recently approved an 18 percent rate increase (historically, due to inflation, rate hikes have only been from 3-5 percent) and he is ready to take this fight to the next step.  Jim will tell you about a process that is allowed by law for taxpayers to challenge and successfully stop this unwarranted rate increase."
