03 FAYETTEVILLE PROSPEROUS (Part 1)
Surely one goal that we share in common is a commitment to a path that will ensure long term, sustainable prosperity.
I believe that history offers abundant proof that a free society is the pathway to sustainable growth.
There are numerous responsibilities that we assign to our local government. Within the boundaries imposed  on  government to secure liberty, there are certain necessary and legitimate functions that we all would agree must be performed.
Infrastructure sufficient to meet our needs, now and in the future…
Where public transportation will be efficient and sufficiently utilized, I would consider it if the people are willing to pay for it.
Unfortunately, as a whole, government takes about five dollars from us for every dollar of value we get back so I’m not excited about that kind of waste coerced from our hard earned dollars.
However, local government is closest to us and we can more responsibly monitor spending if we choose to follow that course.
That being said, I believe that crony capitalism at any level of government is about as meritorious as flagrant theft.
When the government is your partner, you’re the junior partner…forever. There is much not to like.
Education in Fayetteville that prepares students with marketable skill sets, but values and principles are not the responsibility of government. How can government teach what it does not practice?
Schools in Fayetteville should be controlled by parents in Fayetteville Childhood orientation is a parental duty.
This is not a responsibility of the state but rather a by-product of the culture. Churches and charities and civic organizations and families, and extended families will fill in the gap if not harassed and impeded and impoverished by the nightmare of bureaucratic entanglements.
Classrooms are not social laboratories; our children are not lab rats. There is an abundance of basic knowledge to impart which our children will need to compete in a     competitive global market.

  We don’t need to clutter their minds with statist mold and mental mildew

  The best of our teachers understand this and want to be freed from government educational     overseers who micromanage the classroom.

  We all want our young people to leave school prepared with the basic skills they need      to pursue their dreams and achieve their full potential
