I believe in less government, but where government exists it must be effective, responsive and fair. The Ada County Highway District has a $117.9 million budget for FY2018, yet for many years, ACHD was operated ineffectively, and it wasted taxpayer money by squabbling with city governments and hindering new and existing businesses in our cities and neighborhoods.
As your ACHD Commissioner, I have spent the last four years working with all parties and stakeholders to bring conservative, common-sense principles to the Ada County Highway Commission, and—with the voters’ permssion—I will continue to serve in this capacity.
Thank you.
