People have a responsibility to make their community a better place, and serving on the county board is my way to help do this.

County government is in the business of providing services to the citizens of the county. Maintaining the county highway system, providing law enforcement, running the jail and court system, operating a probation department, running the health department, providing ambulance services, administering elections, recording titles of ownership, and issuing marriage licenses are some of the services that the county provides to the citizens. 

We continue to be faced with declining revenues in our main operating fund – the county general fund (also known as the corporate fund). This is due in large part to reduction in revenues from the state.
