Steve Perman on the West Boca Question

State Representative Steve Perman is the first to answer our West Boca Question.
Question 2:
The office you seek covers West Boca Raton and other communities. What issues do you see as particularly relevant for the residents of West Boca?
Answer:
I have just had the pleasure of speaking before the West Boca Community Council this past Tuesday morning at their “Meet Your Candidates” event. As the incumbent State Representative, West Boca resident and small business owner in this community for the past 17 years, I have noticed the sluggish economy and our cost-of-living issues weighing heavily each of us, though the recent drop in gas prices has been a welcome relief. Though West Boca may be more “upscale” compared with communities in other parts of the State, we are all still simply doing our best to safely raise our kids and get them the best education, live well and maintain our home values. My focus as a legislator has been on job creation and economic stimulation, affordable and accessible health care, fresh water supply, agriculture, and protecting those who are least able to protect themselves, children and senior citizens. These priorities have been well-reflected in the bills I have sponsored, co-sponsored and especially those that have been passed and signed into law.
