Taxes:

As Chairman,

I pledge to never seek a tax increase and will find ways to better utilize your tax dollars;

I will work with each department to find ways and means to cuts at least 5% from the county budget;

I will advocate for consolidation and privatization of service where feasible;

I will seek ways to slow the growth of government so that we are able to lower the tax burden while delivering the basic services citizens expect;

I will NOT support placing another SPLOST tax vote on the ballot. We must pay as we go and avoid the expense of long term debt;

I do not support Impact Fees that are passed down to consumers and drives up costs of products and services;

I will not support massive borrow and spend projects such  as a YMCA, Horse & Dog Parks, or other special interest projects that waste our limited tax dollars and competes with privately owned businesses.
