Mission Statement as County Commissioner:
|
|
"Though
new to this position I am excited at the opportunity to make a difference
for many of our County's citizens by acquainting them with County government
and what it can do for them . Helping those without a voice is
important to me - we must be proactive with preventive and rehabilitative
programs to keep our young people safe, crime-free, and positive members in
their communities. Appropriate funding must be available to run County
programs, support the employees, maintain the large County complex and plan
for future needs all in a fiscally-sound, responsive and responsible
manner." |
