Safe Neighborhoods, Good Roads, Low Taxes

We need commissioners who are leaders, team players and have the ability to get things done. We also need commissioners who will listen, truly want to help, and will make our issues a top priority. I want to be that kind of county commissioner for you.

Safe Neighborhoods – County Commissioners budget your tax dollars for the criminal justice system including the County and District Judges and their Courts, the County & District Attorneys, the probation department, the jail and the Sheriff’s department.  Commissioners need to ensure that the professionals who operate the justice system have the resources necessary to keep the public safe.

Good Roads - Commissioners oversee roads accepted by the court as part of the County road inventory.  Not all rural roads are maintained by the County.   Commissioners have the difficult job of maintaining roads and bridges with the same funding furmula that existed in the 1970’s.  County roads should be maintained for public safety and first responder access.

Low Taxes – The current Commissioner’s Court has done a good job of holding the line on spending and stretching our tax dollars a long way.  Commissioners along with city council members and school board trustees face the same types of unfunded mandates from the state and federal government.  Forced local spending, whether from Washington or Austin, gives local governments no option but to provide mandated services without money to fund them.  We must constantly work together to tell the federal and state governments in no uncertain terms that local governments  and taxpayers need relief from over spending, regulation and taxation.
