Jack and Joana Eckert
Most Important Goal
  • Get AC&I Capital projects properly prioritized and stop acting emotionally on projects. Quit being stampeded into things without proper thought.
  • Get every County Supervisor on the internet.
  • Reorganize the multitude of committees into fewer and more effective ones, 1.e., transit, highways, buildings, and parks would make a public works committee; law enforcement could absorb emergency management, etc.
  • Walk away when I have outlived my usefulness
