Start with a simple promise. Then see what we’ll do, when it could happen, who decides, how it could be paid for, and how we’ll track it.

See what we’d do.
Every promise shows what we’d do, when it could happen, who decides, how it could be paid for, and how we’ll track it. “Proposed” means the votes and funding don’t exist yet.
Commitment 01Plan chapter: Repair City Hall
Reliable City Hall
Clean books, fair bills, written rules, and public accountability.
The problem
Residents can’t judge City decisions when the books, bills, and follow-through are unreliable.
First move
Publish clear, easy-to-read financial reports and a recovery dashboard.
What we’ll do
Choose an action to see its status, timeline, authority, cost, funding path, obstacles, public measure, and one real-world example.

THE HONEST PART
A plan needs a majority.
Either of us can introduce a policy, request a hearing, ask questions, and vote consistently with this plan. Most budgets, ordinances, contracts, fees, land actions, and development agreements require at least three Council votes. The City Manager directs staff. Grants, partnerships, rate studies, labor rules, and legal review shape what can move and when.
Our promise is to introduce the work, organize public support, publish every vote, and report what moved, what stalled, and why.
Neighbor to neighbor
A better Banning takes more than two people.
Read the plan, ask hard questions, and share it with someone on your block.
