WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE FACING THE DISTRICT?

With the continuing growth of residential property and commercial developement in our district, it is very important that we continue improving our service to protect life and property. This includes more community involvement, safe equipment, improved training for our responders, improved equipment and facilities at our New Wells station, while making wise use of tax payers dollars. Also I think it is very important that the district strives for a lower ISO rating (insurance service organization), lower ISO ratings will reduce everyones insurance premiums. Some areas of the district are now rated 8B better, while other areas are rated 9 and 10 not so good. If I am elected will continue the growth of this district, and make sure your tax dollars are used wisely to help protect your property and preserve the lives of eveyone within the district.
