The County Line
We have just over a month until the 2020 election, and we have yet to hear what any of our local candidates propose if elected. Come on now, talk to us.
Democrats have been telling us they want to offer an alternative to Republicans. But, so far not a word from commissioner or council candidates about what they would propose that differs or improves upon what county government currently offers.
Republicans have an opportunity to tell us what they have provided for the county and what they want to do in the next four years.
The Board of Commissioners and the County Council are the policymaking bodies in local government. Candidates for these offices especially have an obligation to spell out some kind of program, if elected.
Most folks seem reasonably satisfied with local law enforcement, county highways, health care, parks, etc. So maybe the Democrats have nothing different to offer, but improvements can always be made. And, Republican candidates should tell us what they plan to do to meet the continuing challenges of our growing county.
Candidates for state and national office tell us what they see as issues facing the state and nation. On many of the issues they differ widely on what they would do if elected.
Government at the local level is very important to all of us in our daily lives.
So, let’s hear from these folks.
How about it, candidates?
