GOALS AS COMMISSIONER
STREAMLINE COUNTY GOVERNMENT
- Development shouldn’t give you a headache. We must refine processes used by various branches of county government to standardize what is needed by both applicants and county employees so it is easily understood by both sides.
- I will work to get the government out of the way so growth that is beneficial to the county and residents can happen with less red tape and less cost to all involved.
Provide relief to the many
property owners of our county
- We must be realistic about our approach to the issue and truthful about what we will be able to gain for the taxpayer. Operating costs for the county will only increase, especially as the influx of new residents continues to grow. There is no silver bullet for this issue, but if we have an educated and thoughtful debate about ideas, we can start to implement change that can be beneficial to the taxpayer and keep the county’s needs in mind.
- I am not proposing any additional taxes in the county. Instead, a review of the current system and common sense approach is vital to support future growth while meeting current needs.
- As a small business owner, I am used to making hard decisions and am prepared to tackle these difficult issues.
