Neil Derry – On the Issues


Fiscal Reform
· Eliminate County credit cards for politicians and staff.

· Set limits on travel expenditures by County officials and staff.
--There is simply no justification for County officials to stay at 5-star hotels and dine
at 5-star restaurants on the taxpayers’ tab.

· Prohibit hotel reimbursements for travel of less than 50 miles.
--County politicians and staff to commute from home to their local business meetings
just like the rest of us!

· Require detailed public reports for all County expense reimbursements.

· Oppose higher taxes and excessive county fees.

Public Safety

Quality Of Life

· Promote “Build Green” community planning standards that encourage water and energy conservation in future County projects.

· Use my business experience to attract quality local jobs that reduce commuter congestion and enable local residents to spend more time at home with our families.

· Expedite County road repairs and highway safety projects—especially in our mountain communities.

Accountability
· Hold regular community meetings to listen to the concerns of local residents and share ideas about improving county government.

· Support term limits—without loopholes—for all county elected officials.
