With this week’s guilty pleas and sentencing for officials involved in the City of Bell misappropriation of funds scandal, many So-Cal voters are likely concerned about responsible budgeting. When a population elects their local representatives, they are entrusting their future, finances and peace of mind to their new representatives. Scandals like what occurred in Bell terribly damage the public’s faith in local government.
For Torrance City Council candidate, Aurelio Mattucci, maintaining the public’s trust is extremely important. This will begin with careful and conservative budget management with forethought and planning for the future. Mattucci’s stance on managing the city budget includes these points:
- “…We must always take into consideration the fact that years from now we will have to deal with the decisions of today.”
- Maintaining “a conservative approach to spending and prioritizes expenditures by necessity not popularity.”
- Regarding pensions, “I want to make sure both the tax payers and employees are protected and treated fairly.”
- Consider “the cost of living in our area and make sure we can continue to hold on to good employees and not just give them a job but a career with a retirement that will allow them and their families to remain residents of Torrance.”
- Listening to residents to “make sure the tax payers are also in the decision process and not unilaterally make decisions that benefit a few and burden all.”
Candidate Mattucci has lived in Torrance since 1977 and is invested in the future of his city. He will be appearing at upcoming public forum events to meet with voters and answer questions. The next forums at which he is scheduled to appear are:
- April 17th 8:00 am - Nakano Theater Torrance, 3330 Civic Center Dr., 90503
- April 23rd 6:30 pm - Bartlett Center Old Torrance, 1318 Cravens Ave., 90501
