CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
AND
KfEKNNM ON NUCLEAR WASTE
Republican County
Commission Candidates
Clarence Cutshall
Why are you running for the county
commission?
CUTSHALL: "I am running because
you can't get anywhere without tak
ing a risk and being wiling to put your
neck on the line in some capacity for
business or activities in our county."
How will Madison County make up
for cutbacks in federal assistance?
CUTSHALL: "Motivation may be as
important as intelligence in predic
ting how well someone will fare in
life. It may also include self-sacrifice
in our schools, roads and personal of
fices."
What can Madison County do to at
tract new industry and tourism?
CUTSHALL: "Thinking in need of
new styles and by making our sur
roundings more beautiful."
Would you support a school bond
referendum for new school construc
tion?
CUTSHALL: "Yes, I will support new
school bonds and gladly approve of
new construction is needed. Our
children and grandchildren need bet
ter schools in the future."
What county services need to be im
proved. Are there any which can be
reduced?
CUTSHALL: "We need some kind of
job training for our young people. A
new jail is need, as well as a new road
to Hot Springs and Spring Creek."
Clarence Faulkner
Why are you running?
FAULKNER: "I have been en
couraged by many friends to be a
candidate and being retired, I have
the time to gove to this office. Every
person should be willing to contribute
some of himself to the operation of
our government. If the opportunity
presents itself, I would like to do my
part."
How can Madison County make up for
cutbacks in federal assistance?
FAULKNER: "As of now, no one
knows for sure how great the future
cuts will be in federal money.
However, if more funds must be rais
ed on the county level, we must work
more at increasing our tax base
rather than increasing the tax rate.
Our property tax rate in Madison
County is as high as we can stand."
What can Madison County do to at
tract new industry and tourism?
FAULKNER: "We must create in
itiatives to attract industry, to help
them locate and to help thejn in any
way we can. We should make sure
they will be able to operate without
any unwanted influence from our
local government. Helping to secure
suitable plant sites and placement of
water and sewer lines."
Would you support a school bond
referrendum for new school construc
tion?
FAULKNER: "After all other means
of financing have failed, I would be
for a bond referrendum for new
schools."
Which county service* need to he la
proved. Are there any which can be
cut?
FAULKNER: "Not being in a posi
tion to know how each of the depart
ments of our county government is
being operated, I cannot name one
alone for improvement. I am sure
there is no service that cannot be im
proved."

Bob Phillips
Why are you running for the county
commission?
PHILLIPS: "There is a challenge
and an opportunity involved. The peo
ple of our county have been kind to
me. Perhaps I can return this in some
measure. Time is no obstacle. I can
devote as much time as necessary to
the operation of our county govern
ment."

We should
What can Madison County do to at
tract new Industry and tourism?
PHILLIPS: "As is evidenced by the
loss of the American Greeting Card
plant and perhaps some others, we
must be cooperative. Any industry
considering this area and planning to
spend millions of dollars to locate
here will demand a hands -off policy
in the location and operation of their
business. Assistance asked for should
be immediately available. As tar as
laws allow, they should be granted
some tax breaks."

improved. Are there any which can
be cut?
PHILLIPS: "The two services which
are mast visible to all of us sr the am

and landfill. Some nearby counties
have been able to save many
thousands of dollars by contracting
some or all of this to private industry
