SAN DIEGO (May 20, 2014) – Councilmember Alvarez has issued the following statement in response to the Mayor’s May Revision to the FY15 Proposed Budget.
I am disappointed the neighborhoods I represent are still not receiving their fair share of citywide project funding. While the Mayor’s revision to his budget proposal takes a few small steps in the right direction, much more needs to be done. There is a shovel-ready 15+ acre community park project in Ocean View Hills: the only thing standing in the way is the Mayor’s approval of the needed funding. I look forward to working with my Council colleagues and the Mayor to get this project built.
