Due to overwhelming pressure and the fact that San Jose's City business was occurring in the dark. The San Jose City Council created the Sunshine Reform Task Force (SRTF)
I serve as the Non-profit representative on the task force. My name was literally chosen out of a hat by the City Clerk, Lee Price.
I was very honored when City Council member, Linda LeZotte asked if I would be willing for her to submit my name into the pool of potential members.
I found out I was chosen when I got numerous emails and a few voice mails congratulating me. I think it took 3 or 4 emails before someone actually mentioned what they were congratulating me for.
It has been quite a learning curve for me, but one I truly cherish.
Essentially being raised in San Jose my whole life. I never realized just how big, powerful and widespread our city has become. It is unfortunate that we need a SRTF. But I am so glad that our City Council had the guts to make this a reality.
You can watch the meetings live via webcast or take a look at past meetings here.
I will keep you up to date on what we are going to be delivering to the new Mayor and City Council to help make San Jose a great city for all of us.
