Top 5 Priorities
"A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move to higher levels..." - Albert Einstein
The bottom line is our county budget is only getting higher, our infrastructure has fallen decades behind, and the same status quo ideas are running Hamilton County. I want to radically change the conversation and challenge the idea that taxes only go up, adding more services helps, and if we are lucky the police will protect us.
We the people built this country and we the people can fix it. Limiting the county spending, which will make room for fast tracking infrastructure and employing quality Sheriff’s Deputies are the first step. then as Infrastructure is built up the money comes out of the budget and taxes reduce! Just because the budget was a number the year before does not mean it needs to continue at that rate. We can either lead from the front or be left in the dust of Modern Meritocracy.
Cut Spending by 10%
Cutting the budget by 10% minimum would be the exact amount Hamilton County needs for the $103 million for the required infrastructure.
Cut Spending by 10%
The current plan is to put $9 million towards infrastructure a year. This plan will take 12 years and does not include inflation, more damage, maintenance, and other unforeseen issues.
The grand plan is to cut spending by 25% once infrastructure is paid for and complete. This will dramatically decrease taxes and streamline the County’s agility to take care of it’s residents.
Transparency
Making every dollar spent visible to the public. County meetings not held during the the work day.
