Notable quote: “I came to America because my parents sought the ability to pursue their work and beliefs free from government control. I ran for local office to protect my community’s ability to determine its own land use and maintain its suburban character. Unfortunately, our state government keeps trying to fix problems with simple solutions like raising taxes and moving zoning authority to regional and state bureaucracies. Maybe our elected officials should listen to the people rather than telling them what to do.” —Lynette Lee Eng, CACommonSense.org
