Reasons for seeking this position, goals you hope to accomplish

(Please limit this response to 200 words or less. Use the
back or another sheet of paper if necessary.)
I do not think the current commissioners effectively
serve the citizens and taxpayers of Newton County, given
their powers as the County legislature, with executive and
quasi-judicial powers.
1.) There was a state-mandated reassessment this year
and another in the works for next year. The state wishes to
raise property taxes through enforcing higher reassessments.
As a member of the board of appeals for assessment, I
pledge to be very sympathetic to any taxpayer appealing his
assessment to the board. I will do everything and anything
to defeat this back-door tax increase.
2.) I will not seek an increase in property or sales
taxes.
3.) To counter abuse by county government and increase
responsiveness to the rights of the citizenry, I support
holding a grand jury for at least two weeks of every year so
that the citizenry can make civil and criminal complaints
concerning county government misconduct.
