Budget Challenges:

• Inflation is driving up costs
• Federal stimulus money is going away
• Building boom can't go on forever
• Respect the voter approved 3% max property tax cap

"We need fiscally conservative solutions!"

Merritt Island & Unincorporated:

• You need a strong and respected Commissioner that gets you fair results
• Fight to preserve your communities' history, values and way of life
• Encourage reinvestment along the commercial 520 & Courtenay corridors
• Optimize the Merritt Island Redevelopment Agency (MIRA) as a Strategic Community Asset

"Time for an updated Vision and Road Map to get there!"

Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral & Rockledge:

• Your Commissioner should support local city officials
• Encourage partnerships to reduce costs and improve services
• Support Home Rule - Government closest to voters governs best

"We have great Cities - Let's make them better!"

Indian River Lagoon:

• If the IRL is a top priority (Half Billion+ $ budget), why is it so low in the County Org Chart?
• This should be a direct report to the County Manager.
• Resources should be pulled out of the organization and dedicated to an "IRL General"
• All focused on fixing the IRL (and make sure money is spent WISELY!)

"We must improve our "F-" water grades!"

Need a new County Manager soon:

• Current Manager is retiring soon - Please thank him for many years of service!
• With a budget approaching $2B and thousands of employees, it's a VERY important job.
• We need to hire a TOP professional who's entering the peak of their career.

"A new Manager is key in navigating through current challenges!"
