What is your city’s toughest infrastructure challenge?
(Asked at the League's 2012 Annual Conference)
Paula Lantz, Council Member, Pomona

Steve Hernandez, Council Member, Coachella
How to fund it.
Anu Natarajan, Vice Mayor, Fremont

Steve Tate, Mayor, Morgan Hill
Finding the funds to complete a flood control project.
Elbert Holman, Council Member, Stockton
