Letter to the Editor: Tim Clark

Editor:

As a lifelong Republican and the Republican candidate for Commissioner, District 3, I ask for your vote and your active participation in our democratic process. Please take the time to compare the candidates’ qualifications, positions, and plans. Review their Facebook pages and websites if available. Most importantly, don’t hesitate to reach out to a respective candidate if you have any questions, concerns about an issue or suggestions. My email is [email protected].

The best solutions for the county are not found in isolation but through open communication, public meetings and the application of collaborative decision-making processes. For example, how much of the excess revenue from the Music Center should be returned to the county? How should this revenue be spent? Should spot zoning be allowed where a commercial business can be located in a residential area? Should citizens expect their feedback to be considered in zoning and economic development planning for their area and for the county?

The Brown County Leader Network and website were developed with the support of a state grant. This initiative introduces some proven methods and tools that can be applied to identify and implement better solutions. With the right leadership, methods, and active participation of citizens, better methods can be applied to steer our county toward a brighter future.

Strategies for applying the knowledge that has been gained from attending county meetings, participating in working groups and researching the issues are included on the website at TimJClarkforCommissioner.com. This site also includes a link to the Clark for Commissioner Facebook page. Taking the time to review the information, along with information shared by other candidates, will contribute to voting for a candidate who will do what is best for all county citizens and not just special interests.

With your vote, I look forward to the opportunity to serve the county as an elected official and apply the experience and knowledge gained from my service in the military, federal government and active involvement in county government.

Tim J. Clark

Republican Candidate for Commissioners, District 3
