I have been involved in public/private partnerships for 25 years and have acquired the knowledge needed for county government management.
We need to fully fund our educational system - public schools, libraries, and Cecil College. Capital improvements on infrastructure is another area that needs increased investment.
Increased focus on developing in areas served by public utilities while developing a formula to increase development's financial investment in public schools,
In Cecil County, funding levels above maintenance of effort/local share, is an issue. Community support for public school funding is already there. Government willingness to increase funding is lacking. Increased spending on schools would be a priority because I believe having first class schools is a shared responsibility of county and state government. At this point, the county is not providing its share.
Some areas to focus on are: an educated workforce, public/private partnerships, and drawing in companies that are compatible with Cecil County's strengths.
Work with the development community to increase the amount of affordable housing available to our teachers, deputies and other public servants.
Make sure that our planning commission gives increased consideration to the effects of housing development's impact on community services.
