I am passionate about every policy and issue within our campaign. Please go to KilpatrickForGovernor.com to understand what our campaign will accomplish. Homelessness is rampant and cannot be allowed to continue. It is unacceptable for our culture, community health, law enforcement, property rights - on every level of basic common sense. We will end that. I would solve many issues simultaneously, just as we do every day in film development/production. Return of film production and eco-sensitive businesses to California is paramount. Competitive incentives for film and media production, including a 25% cash rebate for vetted projects and pro-business eco-sensitive industry policies to accelerate job growth. We are about lowering punishing taxes. Seeing that money for our children and teachers is delivered directly where it will bolster premiere education. Supporting parental school choice. Supporting pensions and health care costs without bankrupting local and state governments. Zero tolerance for crime and police reform/advanced training. Lip service to preserving the environment is the current order of the day. We must take the steps necessary to truly preserve the environment and halt climate change. I support the immediate halting of sewage being emptied into the ocean. Federal/State subsidy for eco solar and wind power retrofitting. I support preferential water rates for organic farming and humane animal food production. I also support drought-tolerant gardening mandates. I support the expansion of hydrogen car fueling stations. I support severe fines for littering and polluters. I support community clean-up initiatives and artistry programs. We need to expand the construction of desalination plants. We need to solve the issue of our current undocumented population by simultaneously securing the border and offering a clear path to citizenship with the payment over a 10-year period of a $10,000 fine for illegal entry. These are all issues of high priority. I am proud of the evolutionary conversation that Americans carry out each and every day. I now believe we can go forward as one nation, one state - California UNITED. Equal justice, prosperity, personal safety, and stellar education. We will couple this with teamwork involving the private sector, visionary government, and responsible citizens, to heal our state. Empathy and elevation for all.
