Plan Aligns with over two-thirds of SDCTA Budget Reform Principles
The San Diego County Taxpayers’ Association released a 27-page report evaluating Councilmember Carl DeMaio’s “Roadmap to Recovery.” The report found DeMaio’s proposal to be substantially in alignment with SDCTA’s 38 Budget Reform Principles.
“We applaud the ideas of managed competition and outsourcing, as well as the details provided for streamlining business operations,” the report wrote.
“I appreciate the hard work done by the Taxpayer’s Association in reviewing the Roadmap to Recovery, and I’m pleased with the results,” said DeMaio. “I welcome SDCTA as an important partner in advancing the Roadmap to Recovery. I look forward to working closely with them and other groups to secure the necessary public support for the reforms in the Roadmap to Recovery.”
“We applaud Councilmember DeMaio for submitting his plan. He has answered our questions and proved himself open to this review process,” said Chris Cate, Senior Director of Policy & Operations for SDCTA. “Councilmember DeMaio’s Roadmap to Recovery is the most comprehensive and detailed budget reform plan to date. DeMaio has some great ideas and is very open to new ones as well. When it comes to the critical issues facing San Diego, DeMaio shares our focus on changing the way city government does business so that taxpayers can once again receive the services they deserve for the money they pay.”
