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.
David grew up in the Barrio Logan community of San Diego, the neighborhood on the working waterfront that has a long history of environmental degradation, high asthma rates, and industrial-residential conflicts. That experience shaped his resolve to fight for social, economic and environmental justice. David represented District 8 in the San Diego City Council from 2010 to 2018.
