Issues
 Transportation:
We
all know Napa County has major transportation issues. The construction
of the Highway 29/Trancas interchange has been completed but there is
still more work to be done. Bill Dodd continues to work tirelessly
to increase funding for Napa 's transportation needs and recently helped
secure $76 million dollars of State Prop-1-B bond funding for Jamieson
Canyon. As Chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission he
has given a voice to the people of the Fourth District at a state and
national level. As a member of the Napa County Transportation Planning
Agency he oversees the planning and funding of Paratransit, the maintenance
and improvement of highways, streets and roads, and bicycle transit in
order to ensure that Napa Citizens are not burdened with traffic congestion
now and in the future.
 Growth:
Irresponsible growth threatens our quality of life and our environment. With
the passing of Measures J and A, the people of Napa have shown their commitment
to ensuring the preservation of our agricultural land. Napa has a deep agricultural
heritage and as a Napa native, Bill Dodd has worked hard to uphold regulations
to maintain the quality of our agricultural land. Our future generations
depend on the decisions we make now to guarantee a bright future for Napa
County .
 Affordable
Housing:
Napa County is facing an affordable housing crisis. It is critical we find
innovative approaches to solve our housing needs. Our children deserve the
chance to live and raise families of their own in the community they grew up
in, and without workforce housing, we further complicate our traffic congestion
issue. As a member of the newly formed Napa County Housing Authority, Bill
Dodd is working to find new ways for our County to do business in order to
choose the right projects that will bring our County new entry level housing
options.
 Public
Safety:
The safety of the people of Napa County is a priority and with the increase
in gang and domestic violence, we must ensure our Sheriffs and Police officers
are well funded to allow them to do their jobs more effectively and efficiently.
With the Board of Supervisors, Bill Dodd has already helped build a new Sheriffs
facility by the Napa County Airport and a new Juvenile Justice facility in
Napa . However, we need to continue to fight to stay ahead of the curve in
protecting the people of Napa .
