SAMANNTHA'S COMMITMENT TO YOU

When I ran in 2017, I made commitments to residents.  I’m proud to say that I made good on almost all of them.

​

Now, being re-elected, I remain determined to continue to fulfill my promises to you .

 

I AM COMMITTED TO CONTINUE TO:

• reflect your input in my decisions

• always treat you with honesty, integrity, and respect

• make financial decisions in a fiscally prudent manner – always remembering that it is your tax dollars I am spending

• inform you of my decisions and my rationale for making those decisions, both during council meetings and in my email updates

• pursue strong county-wide gravel policy

• advocate for a voters’ list

• advocate for a finance/audit committee to provide financial oversight and to evaluate the effectiveness of the County’s expenditures and operations

• not be intimidated or back down on issues that compromise what I believe are critically important to this community and the County

 

MY NEW COMMITMENTS ARE TO:

• advocate for improved public engagement processes, including improved IT solutions so stakeholders can participate in public hearings remotely

• advocate to reinstate advertising in local newspapers

• pursue funding for third-party reviews of key technical studies in contentious development applications

• work towards having the County take a much more pro-active approach to supporting our agricultural community

• support initiatives to ensure that new development pays its costs, such as improved off-site levies
