NOAH WOODS: CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER Neah Woods, candidal* for Robeson County Commis sioner, District 4. released the following statement: "In my announcement to seek the office of county commissioner. 4th district, I outlined in broad terms my belief and commitment to economic development as the devise foe* for improvement in the quality of life in Robeson County. First, let me attempt to elaborate on what I mean by the quality of life. The external factors ihalmost directly impact on our lives determine in large part the quality of life. Fbr example, housing, educational system, job opportunity, government services, good housing at afforadable prices, a family can spend more of their income to elevate the quality of their home without sacrificing other essentials. "A quality educational system means that programs are available from pre school to post high school for our children. Economic opportunity for our citisens through high wage jobs within our county ensures that families can provide essentials for themselves, therefore, the require mments on government is significantly reduced. "The scope of Govenunent services Bust be breed enough to cover human needs and focus to the degree newsy to beep local tanas to support government Is n maximum utilising how do we develop an economic development strategy that moves our county toward recognition and acceptance as a place to live that affords quality to our life style. Environmental concerns will be the problem area far government well into the 21st century. Why? Becauee we as a people demand instant everything. We tend to consider the short term as opposed to the long term. We prefer to leave difficult problems for our ehikben ted grandchildren to solve. I would suggeet that waete disposal ia a key element in economic development. The problems associated with disposing of tho waste generated by families and bushtemsi will require a larger share of government revenues. "One way to share tide burden is for counties ts develop regional pinna to handfe waste. A regional waste disposal plan would coat taxpayer* and benefit afi."
