The tax rate must be held to the lowest level possible while providing funding
for the operation of the county at a level set by the people. We must understand
that the largest growth within our county is retired people with fixed income;
however we must also understand that as the 'graying of Brunswick' continues, more
services will be demanded from our county government. To operate our government we
may need to look upon user fees and impact fees as an additional source of income. I will
not state that I would never vote for an increase in our tax rate, I will state that I expect
every agency and department to show where past money has been spent, re
suits of that expense and prove that the voters received a $1.00 worth of value
for $ 1 .00 spent. ^7

I could talk about issues, but issues change. I could talk about
growth, protecting our environment or county services, but ideas
change. The one thing that does not change is leadership ability of
the person. My education, training and past leadership positions have brought
me to this time when I'm asking for another leadership position-County
The environment is not a catch phrase of the 90s. It is
the land, the people and the quality of life we all love.
The Lockwood Folly river basin is nature's first objec
tion and we must heed the call, find the problem(s) and correct it.
We must not stop at that, we must go beyond and have a growth
management plan that will direct the growth instead of growth
directing our plans. The Lockwood Folly basin does not stand
alone in our attention, we must look at all rivers and
waterways to ensure we leave Brunswick County a
better place for our children and the future.

The water issue may
never go away. We
already have serious
problems in various
communities that are
presently on county
water. Other
communities are in
serious need of water
with no plans or fund
ing to get water to
these communities.
This county must find
funding-the amount
varies per study, some
now, some later-but all
within this decade. The
water problem is the
best example of why
Brunswick County
must look to the future
with new leadership
within our elected
government.
