Platform Summary- Bill Stovall for Johnston County Commissioner

A Q&A with District 6 commissioner candidate Bill Stovall

Supports efforts that lead to reducing county taxes.

Supports installing a balanced growth approach, with "an appropriate mix of residential as well as job producing growth such as commercial businesses, industry and agriculture."

Said bond finance the Johnson County fund balance is "the only viable option.", saying "The county's financial experts have cautioned against substantive or rapid drawdown of this fund balance, advising that this balance should be maintained around 50% or risk jeopardizing the county’s AAA rating."

Said regarding the removal of the requirement to purchase a decal to use Johnston’s solid-waste convenience sites, county solid-waste convenience sites are" an enterprise fund and therefore financed 100% by user fees."

Public Safety

Believes "high-density developments in rural areas are virtual towns with no municipal governance. The 40/42 area and Flowers Plantation are prime examples...place an unfair burden on all countywide taxpayers to subsidize municipal-level services."

Housing & Urban Development

Believes water and wastewater capacities are 2 of the most significant county issues.

Wants modern and well-maintained infrastructure, including "water supply utilities; wastewater collection, treatment and disposal; stormwater management systems; buildings to support education and general government services, and roadways."

Considers efforts to enhance the safety and the condition of existing roads, "particularly secondary roads, that have been compromised by rampant residential development." as his top transportation priority.

Wants County Commissioners to actively communicate with the N.C. Department of Transportation in pushing for funds to invest in roadway development and maintenance priorities.

- County Commissioners are responsible for preparing and passing the county budget. The budget determines how much funding goes to various public services, such as public transportation, law enforcement, repairing roads, and maintaining infrastructure.
- County Commissioners oversee the administrative duties of your county’s government to ensure the safety, comfort, and well-being of county residents.
- County Commissioners can create, change, or abolish offices, positions, departments that are not required by law. 
- County Commissioners are elected to 4-year terms, with no term limits. Typically, you only vote for the County Commissioner that represents your county commission district.
