We need to FOCUS ON MAINTAINING WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE — starting with OUR ROADS. PAVING AND ROAD MAINTENANCE must include ALL subdivisions — GATED OR NON-GATED. Every taxpaying citizen is entitled to safe, well-maintained streets. Before we build NEW roads, let’s TAKE CARE OF EXISTING ONES.

This is unacceptable. Every resident is ALREADY PAYING for these basic and essential services — POLICE, FIRE, ROADS, GARBAGE PICKUP, AND PARKS — through existing AD VALOREM and SALES TAXES.

RAILWAY CROSSINGS have blocked our neighborhoods and delayed EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIMES. J.T. Will work with the entire JEFFERSON COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION to get ONE WORD in the state code changed, giving Trussville the legal leverage it needs to protect its citizens and ensure safe, reliable infrastructure access.

J.T. SMALLWOOD OPPOSES ALL TAX INCREASES and has worked tirelessly on behalf of Trussville businesses and homeowners to STOP ALL NEW TAXES. Nearly every city in Jefferson County saw a downturn in sales tax proceeds, but only ONE — Trussville — was cited by Standard & Poor’s.

As Mayor, J.T. SMALLWOOD WILL BEGIN THE PROCESS — through NEGOTIATION, MEDIATION, OR LITIGATION — to SHUT THIS DUMP DOWN ONCE AND FOR ALL. AT NO EXPENSE TO OUR CITIZENS.
