Community Issues in Alhambra that Ron has provided leadership and delivered results:

Saving Story Park from condominium development

Approved numerous housing developments where they did not destroy our neighborhoods

Made the community (and City Leaders) aware of over 100 million lost dollars in transportation funding (Measure R) while consultants got paid millions
