Said, "Lack of money for road repair and repaving, trying to protect the roads in the rural areas from urban sprawl & development, people spreading rumors that my office is in charge of snow removal (it is not), narrowing down scholarship applicants to only 3 who will receive the scholarship each year, Safer streets and roads for pedestrians, bikers and drivers, finding a way to repave country roads more often (but $800,000-$900,000 per year purchases almost nothing with regard to roads), good communication with officials of neighboring counties, continuing to have great people volunteer for the Tax Road of Appeals. Thank you ALL who have said YES to my request!"

Values good communication with officials of neighboring counties and encourages volunteer participation for the Tax Road of Appeals.
