On Saturday, March 5th, I received the nomination for Bartow County Commissioner by unanimous consent at the Libertarian Party of Georgia State Convention.
I pledged to work tirelessly to win the general election this November and to bring accountability to the office of commissioner.
Bartow County has the worst collection of county ordinances that I have ever seen. The incumbent believes he can tell you where to live, run off business, and even allow the Sheriff's Department to search your premises without a warrant. These are the policies of a big government establishment Republican in the tradition of Mitt Romney, Jim Boehner, and Mitch McConnell.
The establishment Republicans have exploded Bartow county government spending at a rate even President Obama couldn't match. For the pleasure of spending our tax money and enacting these irresponsible ordinances the establishment Republicans took $1.1 million as a yearly budget for the commissioner's office. That's simply shameful.
Bartow County offers no break for the retired from public school taxes. Bartow County has high taxes and has regulated businesses out of the county. Cabela's and Racemark International both chose to locate a few feet over the county line rather than deal with the establishment.
It's impossible to maintain a small town feel with big government. When I am commissioner, I will cut government overreach, work with citizens, and end wasteful spending.
Ronald Reagan said it best, "Government is not the solution to your problems, government IS the problem." We have seen that played out in Bartow county by Reagan's own party. Bartow deserves better.
Folks, this campaign will be an uphill battle. The big money establishment Republicans will pull out all the stops to be sure they keep their fingers in Bartow County's $111 million budget. The incumbent allocates himself a budget each year of $1.1 million.
