Post No. 5 (Chestatee Area)
Forsyth County Board of Commission
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
AUGUST 8,1072
I have qualified as a Candidate for Post 5 (Chestatee Area) Forsyth County
Board of Commission subject to the rules and regulations of the Democratic
Primary to be held August 8, 1972.
i am a lifetime resident of Forsyth County and am very interested in the
welfare of our county. My reason for offering for this office deals with the
fact that I am very disturbed about the financial condition of the county. If
elected to this office, I will work with the other four members to try and get
our county back on "the right track. As all of you know from the records
provided by the county commission office, we are not in the best condition
from a financial standpoint.
/ would attempt to practice strict economy in operating our county govern
ment and would reduce all unnecessary spending. I would hopetto see the
office set up a properly prepared budget and would expect each office in the
county to operate within this budget. Having been a businessman for many
years / have developed the idea that any business, including the County,
should not spend more than it takes in. To do so invites higher taxes and will
result in a business or county going out of business. This we don't want in
Forsyth County.
I would promise the citizens of this county that I would try and see that the
existing paved roads receive better attention. There are just too many pot
holes on all paved county roads. A small maintenance crew should be avail
able to keep these holes patched, it is not good business to keep hauling high
priced gravel and pouring into the holes only to see it beat out in a few days.
It's my opinion, and i would vote to use such a maintenance crew full time
to take better care of our existing roads, in my opinion this would give us
better roads at iess cost.
if elected to this office I would vote to use the Planning and Zoning Board
in such a manner that we would have planned, orderly growth that would
hold some promise of paying enough taxes to at least pay its way. i would
further work to secure more warehousing operations, more nice shopping
centers, more nice motels and more of this desirable growth that would pay
its way and also help pay part of the tax toad that we individual property
owners are now paying. This can be done if we have a stable county govern
ment that business can depend on.
I am a member of the Cross Roads Baptist Church, and a past Master of the
Masonic Order, if you agree with the positions I have taken, PLEASE vote
for me on August 8, 1972. Your consideration and help will be greatly
appreciated.
