Political Philosophy for Kevin M. Schafer
Candidate for |

My purpose in running for City Council is to bring about the necessary evolutionary change that this city needs to progress to the next level of growth and potential. While past administrations have brought in the Rite-Aids, McDonalds and Radio Shack merchants, this falls far short of the life essential needs of a city of nearly 12,000. It is a travesty that this city as a whole is required to travel nearly 20 miles to the nearest grocery store. What's more, our population by doing so is investing their tax dollars in other communities rather than their own, valuable tax dollars that would properly fund local infrastructure.
Therefore, my priorities post election will be - - First: Boulevard beautification project to create an appealing atmosphere for future residents and businesses - Second: Develop a committee to explore duplication of effort within city gov't and provide cost saving solutions - Third: Accurately plan the systematic replacement of the sewer/water system, with addition of cable/fiber optics capability underground - Fourth: Explore cost saving benefits of solar/turbine renewable energy for city governmental buildings and infrastructure - Fifth: Pursue future park amenities for the children (skate park, bmx track, waterfall renaissance). SUMMARY: As viewed, this city has unlimited potential, however, the lack of crystal vision is obviously missing the targets of opportunities, while budgetary shortfalls are stifling the growth of this city. This city while showing some growth of new business has missed the mark of attracting businesses that will help the community to grow and pay for itself. At this time this community does not need a card room, what it needs is businesses that will attract future residents. It needs a cleanliness that will be a beacon to others that this is a nice town to settle down in. It needs a bureaucracy that is helpful to business instead of presenting an isolationist agenda. This town can do all of this, without loosing it's small town appeal.
