Dear Citizens of Levy County,
The 2008 election season is about to come to an end. I’m sure all
of you are ready for November 4th to get here and to see who will be
the new leaders of our Nation, who will be the Legislative leaders in our
State of?ces, and last but not least who will be your County of?cials. Be-
lieve me when I say that I and, I’m sure the other candidates also are just
as ready as you.
I once again ask for your vote to be your next Levy County Property
Appraiser. I ensure you that my experience over the past years has more
than prepared me to lead this of?ce in a direction that will provide you,
the citizens, with outstanding public service.
I ?rmly believe that with my leadership and encouragement the staff
of your Appraiser’s of?ce will have a much improved public servant at-
titude and with that will come an improved internal relationship, a greater
desire for cooperation and most of all an improved respect for those who
pay the bills, you, the taxpayers.
I will be very prudent with your tax dollars as they are used in the
administration of this of?ce and will use my position to promote ?scal re-
sponsibility. Government must ?gure out how to break the cycle of spend,
spend, spend.
