Don't forget to vote for DAVID JONES on Tuesday,September 14th
September 8 at 8:48pm
Thomas Paine once said, "These are the times that try men's souls." The Obama presidency, with the support of a Democrat controlled congress, appears well on its way to bringing full blown socialism to our beloved United States of America with managed healthcare, entitlements, failure to close the borders to illegal immigrants, takeover of General Motors.
Then there's the O'Malley administration in our state of Maryland. Runaway spending, high taxes, harbor state for illegal immigrants. Dangerous and damaging policies that flaunt arrogance and disregard for the electorate.
Now, to our own Carroll County. High taxes, $80 M dollar high schools, frivolous lawsuits resulting in $24 M dollar settlements, an incumbent commissioner who publically states that the position she holds is "her seat." Could it get any worse?
Yes, these truly are the times that try men's souls.
On September 14th citizens will go to the polls to choose, among other positions, five commissioners by district.
In my view, the citizens of District 4 have several less than satisfactory choices in this primary election. You can choose someone who, while serving in his previous term, supported increasing your taxes and the cost of government. Your vote for this candidate will be a continuation of the same old tax and spend policies he supported in his first term. Think lawsuit that cost taxpayers $24 M dollars. Do you want your commissioner to foster economic development or harass small businesses with frivolous lawsuits on the taxpayers dime.
Or, you could choose a candidate who believes we don't have a spending problem but a revenue problem. This is the same candidate who has pledged to bring charter government to our county with its broad taxing authority. This before we have completed our first election under the expanded five commissioner board.
Finally, you can choose a leader who believes government is already too involved in your lives and charges you too much in the way of taxes for that intrusion. I am that leader.
I believe in open, transparent government. I pledge to work to have every penny of revenue received and every penny spent posted on the internet for your review. My goal as commissioner is to bring common sense government to our county. I pledge to have an open door to all citizens, not just the companies and individuals who made donations to my campaign. I encourage the discussion of issues that are important to you. The seat at the table belongs to you, the citizen taxpayer. A vote for me, David Jones is a vote to return integrity to your county government. I ask for your vote on September 14th.
