☆ Oliverio: In 2023, SJ must prioritize core city services

Planning Commissioner Pierluigi Oliverio contributes to Opp Now’s exclusive Local Gov’t Hopes & Fears series: He emphasizes SJ’s need to focus on a smaller list of city services, rather than try to expand jurisdictions and “duplicate” larger gov’t efforts.

My big wish:

Focus on core city services with greater financial transparency regarding debt, liabilities, and spending. 

My big apprehension:

City of SJ expanding services into areas already covered by county, state and federal government. Duplicating other government responsibilities takes away from core services laid out in city charter.
