EXPERIENCED— Bill Evans has the longest service of any district commis
sioner. He has served under three commission chairmen with independence,
cooperation and ability.
CONSTRUCTIVE — Nlr. Evans has a definite continuing program to offer,
including holding the line on taxes, industrial development, long range plan
ning, a referendum on vitally important questions, implementation of a pro
fessional study of DeKalb's garbage problems which he initiated.
CONSISTENT — DeKalb citizens know where Mr. Evans stands. He has been
consistent in his support of the county schools and their needed bond issues.
He has strongly supported the merit system and good zoning. He knows what
is needed, such as highway improvements, recreational facilities, and sewer
expansion, and he supports these needs.
