COUNTY WIDE ISSUES &
ACTION PLAN
•
TRUTHFULNESS IN GOVERNMENT:
Schedule monthly public hearings and forums that is
open for public comments, questions, and answers to
educate the taxpayers and voter; maintain an open
door policy. Public comment will start at the time
advertised on the agenda for the Board of
Commissioners meetings.
•
LAW ENFORCEMENT: Investigate why there’s
a large turnover and low morale in the Police
Department. Finance the Police Department the same
as the Fire Department to prevent the movement
and/or manipulation of the money by creating a new
special tax district. Improve the retention of
police officers by increasing incentives such as
take home cars.
•
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: Develop a Community
Improvement District (CID) to finance improvements
in commercial areas with grants to increase
investment and development. Ensure government
financial tools such as Tax Allocation Districts
(TAD) are used to redevelop blighted areas of the
county instead of areas with homes in the price
range of $400,000-$600,000.
• MILLAGE RATE:
Control millage rate increases through effective
management and oversight of county expenditures to
stop the increase in our property taxes.
• OPEN & TRANSPARENT
GOVERNMENT: To uphold an open, honest and
transparent government to stop waste, mismanagement,
fraud, etc. When the public has an open records
request, I will answer the request without causing
the citizens to go to court in order to obtain
public information. As a representative, I am
responsible to keep the public informed and
educated.
• RECREATION:
Increase and improve present recreational
facilities, programs and social activities for
children of all ages by creating public-nonprofit
partnerships. Develop and finance a convention
center for DeKalb County.
• ACCOUNTABILITY:
Maintain a high level of accountability and
efficiency where our tax dollars are involved and
report to the public anything that threatens the
viability of our government. Develop a False Claim
Ordinance and Inspector General to protect
taxpayers’ hard earned money from waste,
mismanagement, fraud, etc. When the law is violated,
prosecute the violator to the fullest extent of the
law.
• CODE ENFORCEMENT:
Be a voice for the enforcement of local laws to stop
junk cars, trash and overgrown grass, etc. for the
betterment of the public and quality of life;
Finance more code enforcement officers to address
the back log of complaints voiced by the community.
