Holly Tilson Pledges!

From Zone 6 Candidate Holly Tilson:

Will you pledge to listen to all the community first and foremost; place our common good above your personal biases and/or causes?
Of course, that's why I'm running. Zone 6 never received information that the MVCC had months even years before we heard of the issues. My platform is communications. I will keep YOU in Mar Vista Zone 6 informed with monthly updates via the MVCC mailing list, monthly reports at the West Mar Vista Residents Association and with a personal email where you can contact me with neighborhood issues. A vote for me will help you-Zone 6 residents-deal more effectively, to be proactive rather than reactive, with changes in our neighborhood.

2.    Will you pledge your unequivocal and steadfast support for our Community Center at Historic 62 Project as it moves forward?
Yes, Mar Vista needs it's own dedicated space to carry on it's local community business.

3.    Will you pledge to protect our scarce and precious local park and school field space resources from development encroachment?
This is a no-brainer. Our only open green space in Zone 6 are our public schools. Plants and people need each other, we are part of the carbon cycle.

4.    Will you pledge to take the neighborhood council treasurer training so our MVCC is not left high and dry with frozen funds ever again?
Of course.  And for the record I would rather be treasurer than go to the dentist. I have been treasurer of 2 organizations in the past. UCLA co-op preschool which included payroll and tax forms and my son's elementary school PTA which ran about $100,000+ through the books each year. No payroll but there were tax forms to complete. Written monthly reports are just part of the job. The public and the board should be completely informed. I support complete transparency when public money is involved.
