Solution to the State budget problem |
Pham |
Restricting government spending alone is NOT a
solution. California regulation should be reformed to
attract more businesses which in turn will create more jobs
and prosperity. |
|
Mansoor |
Government shall operate within its budget |
|
Solution to the water shortage problem |
Pham |
Procuring new
sources of water by making fresh water directly from the
ocean. Desalination (removing salt) is a solution that we
should consider and quickly implement to curtail water
shortage. |
|
Mansoor |
Water
rationing (set limit) should be implemented. |
