On Budget & Economy: Cut city spending to balance budget; keep essentials

The Proposed Budget for FY2011-12 solves the $457 million General Fund deficit by instituting deep and permanent cuts to City spending while providing the necessary resources for essential City services including public safety, library operations, and street preservation and maintenance.

On Education: Charter schools and competition to improve education

We will ensure that these new schools are run by the best school operators. As a part of this process, we will create a competitive process in the fall of 2009 that will allow charter operators, Partnership schools, local districts, universities, groups of teachers and others to compete to operate the new school. The operator's record of performance will determine who will operate the new schools opening in 2010 and beyond.

On Energy & Oil: GREEN LA: reach Kyoto targets and use renewables

In 2007, the City adopted GREEN LA: An Action Plan to Lead the Nation in Fighting Global Warming and we have already hit a major milestone by meeting the Kyoto targets for reducing greenhouse gases, four years ahead of schedule. GREEN LA goes further by setting the goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 35% below 1990 levels by 2030; increasing the City's use of renewable energy to 40% by 2020 and over 50 more initiatives that will reduce the City's carbon footprint.
