"...Schmid...offer(s) valuable experience from the business world and (has) demonstrated a commitment to local service.
Schmid, an economist who attended Yale, led a research group at the Federal Reserve, and served on the Palo Alto Unified School District board. Schmid advocates the need to stem the loss of hotel and retail sales tax revenue, an issue that concerns many of us, and we like the way he offered specific proposals on the appropriate use of special task forces and strategic planning for growth."
