I BELIEVE THAT AN EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT IS A BETTER GOVERNMENT. LIMITING THE SIZE OF ITS BUREAUCRACY CAN DO SEVERAL THINGS:
• Lessen the tax burden on individuals and businesses
• Promote the preservation of free market principles
• Restore the values that make our county great
• Promote personal responsibility for our families
WE HAVE ALL GROWN WEARY OF HALL COUNTY GOVERNMENT AND ITS INABILITY TO GOVERN LOGICALLY. KEY EXAMPLES ARE:
• Loss of $16 MILLION DOLLARS on the Glades Reservoir Project
• Firing three injured firemen while promoting the person who knowingly bought the the faulty equipment
• Targeting lake owners, business owners and now farmers on property assessments
MY PRINCIPLE-BASED BELIEF SYSTEM AND 29 YEARS OF REAL BUSINESS EXPERIENCE IN MANUFACTURING, SALES AND MARKETING CAN BRING AN END TO THE PATTERN OF BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES.
#PROtect
I will PROtect Hall County from bad decision making in the following areas by:
Making certain the Sherriff’s Department and Fire Services are properly funded and maintained, so there are no shortfalls in coverage or protection
Examining Hall County’s budget and tax rate
Rationalizing vacancies and appointed offices
Reviewing all salaries and benefits to ensure competitiveness and fairness in the workplace
Not allowing the County to enter into open-ended and frivolous contracts
Controlling the allocation of all government buildings and facilities
#PRObusiness
I will promote a PRObusiness environmnt through the following:
Developing good public policies
Minimizing govenment intrusion into existing businesses,
Local tax reform
Removal of impact fees on new home construction.
Reigning in out-of-control tax assessments
Increased Infrastuture capacities in internet
I will challenge the CIty of Gainesville to lower its county water rates, the current situation we have is taxation without representation.
Attracting a workforce that is trained in manufacturing, software engineering, distribution and medical sciences.
#PROactive
I will be PROactive in:
Working with local municipalities
Collaborating with business leaders, educational institutions, city and county governments to ensure we all working together to create an ideal, pro-business environment
Influencing the Hall County School Board in scrutinizing its budget so that tax dollars are spent wisely
Focusing my time and energy on things that I can control
BRAGGING ABOUT HALL COUNTY. HALL COUNTY IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, WORK, RAISE A FAMILY, AND PLAY. I THINK IT’S TIME THAT OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS LET BUSINESS AND INDIVIDUALS KNOW ABOUT IT!!
