Candidate questionnaire — Leslie Benns
Answer: We managed to add ten new police officers this year without raising taxes. I would hope we could add ten per year to get us closer to the needed level. Right now, the police are receiving more than double the number of calls per officer than they did thirty years ago. This is resulting in diminished services. If we want to increase those services, we will have to be willing to pay for that.
Question 2: Downtown remains a concern for many residents. Do you feel the city is doing the right things to help revitalize downtown? What would you do as a council member to help downtown?
Question 3: One of the biggest issues in District 1 is the neighborhood conflicts that arise between Spanish-speaking immigrants and long-time locals. Do you think the city is doing enough to help solve this problem? As a council person how would you help solve this issue?
