Meet Janet

There are so many wonderful things to do in this magical place! I enjoy volunteering at and participating in the myriad of events that take place in Santa Monica. 

Santa Monica is the most magical place on the planet. But as we have all learned the hard way, even the most perfect gem can be broken, if it's not handled with care. Every day, everwhere I go, people are telling me they're afraid. And it's not misplaced.

We have all seen Santa Monica in the news way too much lately for unimaginable crimes. Not only local, but international as well. Recently, European tourists have been stabbed, shot, assaulted, attacked, and robbed. These are the very people we are trying to get to visit, stay in our hotels, and eat at our restaurants. They are afraid to come now, and our tax revenues are way down. Which leaves our city in a financial hole, unable to fund the services we all need. 

But the good news is--we can fix this. We can turn it around. It does not have to be this way. But it is going to take all of us, working together. No more name-calling and finger pointing and negative campaigns. We don't have time for any of that any more. The situation is way too critical.
