What are the major issues facing your county, and what will you do about them if elected?

Expense management is the key to Delaware’s continued growth. Revenue is simply not an issue when all current streams are considered. Between local entity taxes, city taxes, property taxes and sales tax, Delaware County shouldn’t have a single pothole, a single under performing school or a single unfinished development project. Having managed more than $2 billion in corporate budgets over the last several years, expense control is always the key. Shared services must become the rule and not the exception within the county, to drive expenses down for all county services. As a County Commissioner I will bring the county into the 21st century with requirements for true financial budgeting and expectations tied to those budgets, as opposed to the wasteful process supported today. The County Commissioners provide an open checkbook to every county agency, where budgets only serve as guidelines and not as fixed requirements for annual performance.
What else would you like to say to voters in your county?
Vote for the person, not the party. One party rule has existed in Delaware County for over 150 years.
