A Vision & Direction for Burbank

,

City Council Candidate Kimberly Jo

“Over the last six years Burbank has cut our budget approximately 17%. Further cuts will hit muscle, tendons and bone; the impact will be felt deeply. Tightening our belt is a correct response and appropriate reaction, but not a sufficient solution…

The biggest crisis facing our nation and Burbank residents is job loss. I will work tirelessly to identify emerging technology, renewable energy, and bio-health and science companies to expand the breadth and depth of our economic base.”

Candidates Address Fiscal Gloom

“Today Burbank is at a turning point and it’s going to take all of us to keep Burbank moving in the right direction… I will work to support small businesses, which are the backbone of our economy, as well as large industries that continue to create new jobs opportunities for the local workforce.”

Volunteer training this Friday, January 23 at 7:00pm… Let’s make history happen!

Happy Inauguration Day!

I knocked on 60 doors today;  I’m tired.

Good night!

I taped my candidate speech.  It will air Wednesday on Burbank Channel 6, and play repeatedly until the Primary Election on February 24th.  I will try to post the clip as soon as I receive my copy for those of you who don’t get Channel 6… maybe.   I can’t remember ever being that nervous.  We had 2 shots; I blew the first but nailed the second.

By the way, Paul - when are you going to send me that picture?

The next televised event is the Candidate’s Forum hosted by the League of Women Voters of Glendale/Burbank at City Hall on Jan 22nd beginning at 7pm.  I will post more info as it becomes available.

We found a campaign headquarters and are ready to go!  Only a couple days into the new year and things are continuing to take shape.  This past weekend my brother, sister, and I cleaned and painted.  It took us all night and when we finally finished, they agreed that they would jump me if I lose.  (…Sadly, I don’t think they were kidding =)

***THANK YOU Joe Terranova for finding a space that met all our requirements! You’re the best!!***
