Greetings!
Mail in
ballots have arrived. Voter turnout is critical, I encourage you to
do the research, make the selections that you feel are the best for
you, your family, and your community.
A criteria I
like to use; "will I regret my selection in a
year."

are you receiving for $77 a year? |

Our strategic planning
will...
At the El Paso County Citizens College I am attending
a very brilliant question was asked by a student during the budget
presentation. The man asked "if El Paso County citizens are only
paying $77 per person per year in property taxes and the next
highest county in the 10 county comparison citizens are paying
$191; what are we missing out on when we compare
services?"
The questioner is
speaking about the "10 County comparison Property Tax
per person" chart. The chart shows how much each person pays in
property taxes in 10 similar Colorado
counties.
Of course there is no
simple answer other than this subject brings up the discussion of
citizen prioritization of their wants, needs, and demands from the
El Paso County government.

Deputy Sherriff ride
along spawns insight into the deeper meaning of our county.
I rode along with a
Deputy Sherriff on a swing shift to gain a better perspective of
what our emergency responders experience. The
Deputy and I found a lot of common experiences in working with the
public, as well responding to their
needs.
I spent a large part
of my life as an Air Force fire fighter stationed at multiple
locations around the world. Some of these locations were small,
while some were our at our largest military installations in the
world.
