My name is Sally Lieber. I am a corporate-free candidate running to represent you on the Board of Equalization. The Board oversees property taxes and other revenues for our State. Too often it's a place where big money interests drown out the voices of average Californians. It shouldn't be that way.
Mountain View should be a community where everyone’s voice counts equally. We need further campaign finance reforms to ensure that entities with an economic interest before our City Council don’t overshadow the voices of residents.
Our police and emergency response services must always be respectful, protective, and take into account historical and current discrimination, mental health needs, developmental needs, and the need for integrated
crisis intervention.
Our City’s policies should reflect public health principles, inclusion, and transparency. Our City Council should
play a greater role in highlighting the caring infrastructure that is needed in our community: healthcare, childcare, homecare, education, and support services for families. We should always stand up to prevent harm, whether
it is targeting of our undocumented residents, insensitivity to LGBTQ families and community members, or widespread environmental harms. We can and must have a City Council that is always on our side.
