Reforming County Commission- Seat 4B

It's time to bring County Commission back into the realm of normal citizens.

You've heard a lot obout 'honesty' and 'open government' over the past few months. Honesty is great, but I have a plan, too- a plan to ensure that County Commission stays honest and open, permanently. True reform is going to require outsiders to get into the game- otherwise, Knox County will get new faces from the 'old network' and be stuck with another 20 years of the same dead-end thinking. Read regular updates on a variety of topics on my blog, reform4.blogspot.com.

I want to bring:

  • A specific plan for reforming Knox County Commission and eliminating cronyism and waste
  • A fresh perspective to all the issues, unencumbered by traditional ties to developers, media, or other high-level government officials.
  • 'Ouside of the box' thinking about the County Budget and other issues critical to growth, health, and jobs. The best solution is rarely a choice between those offered by the "us versus them" crowd.
  • A long-term perspective to schools, zoning issues, and economic issues, anticipating future concerns before they become a crisis.

Mark your calendars NOW:

- General Early Voting July 18-Aug 2rd
- General Election (at polls) Aug 3rd, 2008

Why Reform Is Important
Electing from the same group of career county politicians isn't working. Knox County can't move forward if it remains mired in scandal from people who have been in politics so long they don't understand the law means what it says and that they serve us, the citizenry.
