Infrastructure / Transportation I will protect more of our land through preservation. I will put forward legislation that does not allow surprise rezoning of our farmlands. I will also work with the Division of Permits and Planning to ensure that changes are clearly and publicly made allowing access to everyone by QR coding the signs and publishing the changes on an easy to find website. Infrastructure / Transportation I will require contracts to include infrastructure first, always. I will insist on thorough feasibility studies. I further commit to providing the results of these studies for public feedback. Taxes / Budget I will utilize FCG-TV for accountability and open conversation. Our residents need to know where their tax dollars are going with the ability to give their voice. I will begin open announcements regarding bid expenditures, division permissions, and projects that impact the residents. The people deserve this honesty. Infrastructure / Transportation I will ensure that the Public Information Act requests are fulfilled, not fought off. I will require that the public be informed of growth before it happens and that they have an opportunity to weigh in on decisions made by the county. Infrastructure / Transportation I will hold developers accountable for the cost of infrastructure and hold the funding until requirements are achieved. I will insist that the County hold the costs that will cover the work and that the County has a voice in the contractor selection process. Taxes / Budget I will allow residents to weigh in on budget decisions. I will require divisions to publicly announce their requests for budget increases and will provide time for public feedback of these requests. When the final budget request is released, I’ll hold explanation sessions so that the residents can better understand the solutions being offered. Infrastructure / Transportation I will support a moratorium on adding growth for a minimum of one year, so that we can ensure infrastructure needs are met before we move forward. And when growth does occur, it will be with all public knowledge.
