Francesca Hong: “Investment is what we need. Thinking about our shared…”

“Ms. Hong, would you return the surplus to taxpayers or how would you spend the projected $2.5 billion? Those are the taxpayers dollars. But Investment is what we need. Thinking about our shared future, our kids. It is an investment when we invest in public schools and ensuring that we are cutting property taxes but doing right for our kids. Our campaign is about permanent affordability and putting all of those surplus dollars back into taxpayers money. I think that it would be irresponsible.” (18:53–19:05)
