UNDERSTANDS THE ISSUES

 Working and volunteering throughout Curry County has given me an understanding of the issues facing us today and in the future:

 Stabilized Funding: One of the biggest challenges facing Curry County today is the loss of federal "O&C" dollars, or "county payments" in the near future. Whether this funding source will be fully funded for the next five years, phased out or cut off, the solution is only temporary. It will be important to work with many people at all levels inside government, as well as those outside to find permanent solutions.

 Growth: "Growth Happens," as these last few years in our county have shown.  How growth is managed, understanding its costs and its impact on water, is key to maintaining our quality of life. It is important to have clear and consistent standards.

WE can do it, with your help!

  With your help, I plan to reach out to as many people as possible. But it does take funding. An easy way for you to help out is with a small  contribution.

  In Oregon, you can receive a full tax credit for contributions up to $50 (or $100 per couple) deductible on your 2006 tax return. 

  Please consider helping out with any amount possible. Our county needs strong and   innovative leadership. Please make checks payable to:

  Please also include your name, address,   occupation and employer's name(if  applicable) so that you can receive full tax  credit.
