View Rohan's perspective on how to solve our current challenges. The failed incumbent has led to:
• Homelessness: A Billion Dollars, Zero Excuses: When voters approved Measure W in 2020, there were 8,022 unhoused in Alameda County. The county collected $810 million from all of us who paid extra on clothes, cars, furniture etc and deployed only 14.6% in five years. Today 8,201+ people remain without shelter. We need results with accountability & LOWER taxes.
• Despite a $5.1 billion budget, 26% of county positions are vacant, causing slow services and delays.
• St. Rose's debt integration is straining Alameda Health System, threatening reduced services and longer wait times for our parents and seniors on Medi-Cal.
