Name two ideas that would make Santa Cruz County even better in 2013.

Broaden our horizons in terms of welcoming new businesses. Not necessarily just local businesses, but corporations and other bigger stores if they fit. Also, I’d say be a bit more aggressive on handling the homeless problem downtown.

I guess legalize marijuana, support that whole thing, and we need a better homeless center.

Resurrect Nikola Tesla’s ghost and maybe come up with a free-energy machine that would destroy currency.

More all-age venues and more free parking.
