Ask Ed Returns

Regular visitors to Protect San Jose know Ed Rast as a statistical guru, especially when it comes to public safety. In his regular Tuesday column, he's examined San Jose's exorbitant business taxes and fees, mismanaged budgeting priorities of City Administration, and our tendency to build more and more housing without bringing new jobs to the area.

A couple months ago, Ed opened up a dialogue with you, the reader, and he received some intriguing questions. Now, we're happy to open the floor again. This is your chance to Ask Ed.

Leave your questions in the comment space below, and stay safe.

  1. I've seen the economic impact report, and it was fairly rosy, but do you think a downtown baseball stadium would really benefit our city?

  2. Hi Ed,

    I see public being approved at every other council meeting. 300k !!! for one piece at the airport last week. With the city manager laying people off and using words like bankruptcy in a recent talk should public art be put on hold? Any Idea how much is spent of public art? How many jobs could be saved by putting the public art policy on hold? Thanks ED
