VOTE ON JULY 20th!!
| |
If elected, I am determined to:
 | Improve the decision-making
structure. Decisions must be made in a
predictable and timely manner. Many agencies and many people rely on the
smooth functioning of county government. The decision-making process must be
clear, consistent, and understood by all affected. |
| Facilitate genuine collaboration
among all governmental entities. True
collaboration depends on honesty and mutual trust. Poor collaboration wastes
county money, through strife, delay of public projects (such as schools,
parks and senior centers), and inefficient use of government employees’
time. We must work together better to stretch our tax dollars. |
| Expand economic development,
carefully targeted to appropriate areas. We need
to enhance our tax base in the right way. We need to have right types of
employers in the appropriate locations. We can protect our environment and
preserve farmland, while creating new jobs within the county for Orange
County residents and easing the tax burden on individual property owners.
Orange County’s economic development efforts need more energy and clearer
focus. |
| Ensure effective and efficient
funding for both school districts. I will work to
ensure that every Orange County student has access to the best educational
opportunities. I will advocate for appropriate school funding while
maintaining local control of district operations through the elected school
boards. |
I am committed to winning this election.
Why? Because I want tomorrow’s citizens, today’s children, to be proud of the
decisions that the Orange County Commissioners make. I promise to vote with the
knowledge that my voice matters not just today but into the future. I promise to
vote to preserve what is good and change what needs to be changed. Specifically,
I will work to get voter approved facilities built and available to the people
of our county on time.
