Conservatives across the county are amazed to learn that our county is $1 Billion dollars in debt. Spending sprees have not helped our county become a better place to live and most people have a hard time believing that a county with such a conservative reputation would allow county debt to balloon beyond belief. Taxpayers and property owners can have faith that this debt is merely deferred taxes for decades in the future.I pledge to resolve a debt cap on the county so that no more bond elections may be held to drive our county deeper into the drowning pool of debt. Our children’s futures have been mortgaged away and it is our duty to pay off this debt instead of handing it down to the next generation.
As Thomas Jefferson said, ”It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.”
Why have we spent so much money on roads on the peripheries of the county? Our current county commissioner appears unfazed by the amount of debt that she continues to issue. We have to wonder why a commissioner that claims to be a conservative would spend taxpayer dollars like a drunken co-ed in Cancun on Daddy’s credit card. Just click here to follow the money trail and you will find a convincing argument that Valerie Covey is a representative of the Road Lobby first and a government official second.
I pledge to take no campaign donations from Political Action Committees that have any sort of business with the county. It may not be illegal in Texas, but in my opinion, government policy should not be for sale.
Our team will plan on smart growth in Precinct 3 by resisting new bond initiatives for more road building. We have roads in disrepair requiring immediate attention and crime enforcement issues that need to be addressed with any money we may have left.
- Providing needed services for the 400,000+ residents.
- Building essential public facilities only when absolutely necessary.
- Keeping the tax burden at the minimum reasonable level for now and … in the FUTURE.
- Cap County Debt at a $1 Billion dollar limit .
- Urge restraint in approving more residential development in Precinct 3 until the County can afford the necessary facilities and services required by new residents. Promote Urban Growth Limits and advocate for dense, New Urban development in Precincts 1, 2, and 4
- Promote new business/commercial development county-wide.
- Maintain the rural economy and character of Georgetown, the Town Square, and the phenomenal resources we have in Precinct 3.
- Continuing to press the State to develop an adequate sustainable source of transportation funding.
- Oppose the Highway 29 project and 10 lane Cross-County Corridor that will burden our taxpayers for many years to come.
- Provide the hard working law enforcement and prosecutors of the county with a County Crime Lab so that our citizens are protected from criminals and over anxious prosecutors that destroy our citizen’s faith in Government.
- LISTEN to the advice of the elected County Attorney and stop spending millions of dollars on outside counsel and left-wing lobbyists.
I can assure you that our campaign for commissioner will be a fiscally conservative campaign. The economy is picking up but there is still little room for private political donations. I will try and win this race with truth and technology. You can help by donating money to the campaign or spreading the word via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, or word of mouth. We can get this done together. We must or our out of control growth will ruin our way of life.
