Running for City Council

Yesterday I registered to run for my first political office

the reason I did so is that I have been a frequent critic of City management in Greenville and the only way to get things done is to see if I can get elected and change some things.

Now I have been told that it is difficult to move anything in City Hall- well I will see.

My theme is "Greenville- Back to Basics" where I think we should become more concerned with the City doing the basic things right and getting rid of the "nice stuff" that has costs this City taxpayers a ton of money.

Here is my List of Objectives.This is how I will vote

1. There will be NO tax increase in the next two years
2. There will be No fee increases in the next two years
3. There will be NO tax rate increases in the next two years
4. There will be a hard look at the cost accounting of certain funds
5. The million dollar subsidy of the Aquatic Center will be questioned
6. There will be a review of the golf course operations- if not profitable it will be recommended for sale
7. There will be a review of each City department except police, fire,sanitation and GUC, for now.
8. There will be a significant reduction in police downtown with the resouces sent elsewhere
9. There will be a discussion on merging some services with the County to save taxpayer funds
10. There will be no borrowing in the next two years
11. There will be no $12,000,000 bus depot put downtown
12 There will be a serious look at the City relationship with the Airport due to the recent state audit where serious flaws were found in the Board operations
