VOTE411 Voter Guide

A. Property taxes: Counties, state subdivisions, budget to meet state mandates and property tax is the major revenue source. Goal: control spending, increase non-property tax revenue. Property taxes have gone down, PILT/state revenue sharing is up, a major county program shifted to state. Budget balanced total employees are down. B. Public Safety - Military service taught me the importance of personnel, training, and equipment to public safety. Will not support 5% across the board budget cuts; this will cut 37 Sheriff deputies. Have not second guessed equipment purchases that risk officer safety such as night vision. Opening “The Bridge” this year, kept juveniles out of the justice system. C. Planning - Water critical to this important activity. Water experience helped address planning-related water issues; organized, valley water summits, area well analysis, aquifer studies, assisted water data collection. All these activities helped the planning process within Ada County.
