Government Reform Taxpayers and citizens should know exactly how elected officials want to transform the County and what it will cost us. Taxes / Budget The entire budget needs to be evaluated by people who prioritize economic growth and the simple things that allow people to own a home, raise a family, start a business, and enjoy taxpayer funded places like the library and parks in safety.
