On her Website, Donna Thewes, the Republican Candidate for the Third District County Council Seat states the following:
· We have some of the best schools in the nation but some need more help
· Our children want and need after school activities
· We are concerned about crime and we need more officers on the street
· Opening more Police Community Offices is a good idea
· We need parks and open space
· Route 1 needs to be cleaned up and “resident-friendly” businesses need to move in
Sounds good to me. Who can argue with those points?
But if one reads further she also states on her website:
“5 tax increases in the past 7 years were too many.”
What Ms. Thewes doesn’t tell us is how she proposes to pay for the improvements discussed above without another tax increase or cutting the budget somewhere else. Or maybe she thinks the County should borrow the money to pay for these programs?
Ironically, her website also states:
“Donna is committed to managing our money wisely and prioritizing projects for the county that will bring the most value for our tax dollars.”
