  • If you are a caregiver, grandparent, or have aging parents in Placentia, you know our senior services do not match neighboring cities. Brea's senior center operates 35 hours a week. Placentia shuts down after just 20 hours a week, dedicating a tiny 0.22% of its General Fund budget to senior programs. The public records raise serious questions about how our money is being managed. Placentia's forecast OCTA Senior Mobility funding allocation is actually higher than Brea’s. It is an operational fa

  • You have invested decades into your home, but the fine print is alarming. City Hall balanced its budget with $1.46M in painful service cuts, laying off staff, reducing landscaping, and closing neighborhood facilities. Our reserves have dropped below our 25% policy threshold, creating a dangerous $1.17M gap, while annual pension-related obligations climb past $5.4M. Good intentions do not close a million-dollar gap. It takes corporate-grade budget discipline. I am Santosh Sabnis. I am a technol

  • You drive over crumbling pavement every single day, wondering when your tax dollars will actually maintain your road. Portions of Palm Drive scored a failing 36 on the pavement condition index back in 2022, yet it sat neglected for years while the city let a massive $6.4M infrastructure repair gap pile up. Worse, when they do fix roads, the contracts experience massive cost creep, like adding $340,692 in overruns to the RJ Noble contract. I am Santosh Sabnis, candidate for Placentia City Counc

  • Look at your latest assessment. Your Placentia residential trash fee just jumped 14.04% to a staggering $613.92 a year, which breaks down to $51.16 a month. Why are we paying a massive premium while neighbors in Fullerton pay $30.78 and Brea pays $34.34 for the exact same hauler? It is an operational management failure. City Hall authorized $394,999 over six years for a single consultant to negotiate and support a trash contract that left us paying substantially more than neighboring cities, wi

  • It is becoming too hard for young couples and working mothers to build a forever home here. When local city jobs are frozen and community spaces disappear, the city stops growing. It does not have to be this way. Placentia handles a massive $96M budget, but leadership is mismanaging the ledger. I am Santosh Sabnis. I have spent over 20 years leading business transformations and managing major budgets. I built the Placentia Civic Vault out of my own pocket to translate complex records into plai
