The Urban land Institute's Plan
What are a few specific details of the ULI Report that you adamantly support and a few that you are adamantly opposed to, and please give a short explanation as to why?
Jay Batt - Worthy of consideration for obvious reasons are: the establishment of a temporary financial oversight board to ensure fairness and equity in obtaining federal funding (with members representing the federal, state and local governments; the recognition that citizen should be able to return to a safe city (with enhanced levees and ecosystem restoration playing a key role in ensuring future safety); the adoption of clear criteria for neighborhood restoration and development, with an emphasis on the inclusion of residents in the planning and restoration; the need for a regional approach on such critical issues as levees, transportation systems, emergency response and economic development.
Against some of the more aggressive redevelopment plans.
Ray Landeche - I support providing low cost housing for the working poor, elderly, handicapped, etc. with the complimentary transportation, recreational and health care services. All Americans deserve to share in the American dream. I oppose limiting assistance to $150,000 when many of our homes and businesses were worth much more. Owners of such properties are hard working Americans who pay significant state and federal taxes; they should be given help in the form of tax credits against past or future taxes.
Stephen Saussy - No comment.
Candidates Sonia Gupta, Shelly Stephenson Midura, David Nowak, Sal Palmisano & Tom Wagner did not provide an answer to this question.
