1) Do you believe that Mecklenburg County’s per capita tax burden of about $2687 to be too high, too low, or about right? The Mecklenburg County per capita tax is a little too high. If we begin to cut the waste, excess, and inefficiencies presently in our county, these savings could be passed back to the tax payers in lower taxes.
2) Do you support or oppose the immigration legislation recently enacted by the state of Arizona? I don’t agree with all the legislation enacted by Arizona. But presently Arizona is not my concern. My concern is to get Mecklenburg County finances back on track.
3) Do you support or oppose exploring the consolidation of city and county services using a purchased services contracting model? I would be really open to review consolidation of city and county services to see how much of a saving it would be for the county. I am one who believes strongly in getting a bang for the bucks we are spending. Then passing those savings back to the taxpayers.
