Government Reform As commissioner I would wean Bonner County off unnecessary government grants which normally come with strings attached. I would also make sure Bonner County does not spend any of its time, money or resources on enforcing any unconstitutional state or federal mandates. Government Reform These closures are taking place county wide on county, state and federal lands. These are lands that belong to the people and provide access to many of the activities enjoyed by the people of rural Bonner County. Many surrounding states have seen public access dwindle over the past decades and now we are seeing this more and more in Idaho and Bonner county. As commissioner I would stand up against these closures and hold the government accountable to the people and the use of their lands. Taxes / Budget Government by design since its inception was designed to be limited and accountable to the people. Government has been over reaching its authority more and more as time goes by. It is time we give taxpayers relief and get back to the original intent of government being limited and accountable to the people. As commissioner I vow to cut excess spending and to relieve Bonner County residents of any unnecessary burdensome regulations. Social Services As Americans the only thing we are entitled to are the unalienable, god given rights which are outlined to us in our constitution. Unfortunately, over time, the government has taken over the responsibility of social programs from private entities such as churches and volunteer organization, at the cost of the taxpayer. None of these programs are free and are ultimately paid for by you, as the government does nothing to earn money. They simply collect tax money from the people. As commissioner I would invite and encourage local churches, businesses, community members and volunteer organizations to play a larger role in providing these social services to those in need.
