“Bill Monning listens, he represents us, he cares about our well being. He knows that the physical health and the economic well being of the central coast are not separate issues. It is about us all of us, farm workers and farmers, REALTORS and people who live in homes. I also enjoy the level of civility that Bill models when faced with heated difference of opinion or policy. It is about the policy -- not the volume. It is his ability to craft policy that works for us that impresses me. The purpose of government is to govern; Assembly Member Monning has his eye on the best practices model for cost effective spending. In real estate, we look for "good value for the money". As I watch Bill's questioning in the legislative hearings, this is the subtext I hear: the good value of a financial system that works, a health care system that works, schools that support our next generation as happy productive people. Just look and you will see what effective leadership he brings to us!”
