SALES TAX DEFEATED!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR OPPOSITION!!
I NEED YOUR VOTE IN NOVEMBER TO PROMOTE A BETTER PLAN
FOR THE COUNTY!
PLEASE NOTE: NOT ONE OTHER
CANDIDATE DARES TO OPPOSE THE SALES TAX REFERENDUM, OR EVEN MENTION THE
SALES TAX REFERENDUM ON ANY WEBSITE.
Consider why the sales tax was justly
defeated:
-
Henderson County public schools had a
budget of $108 million last year.
-
Over 10 years, it is fair to presume we
will spend $1.4 BILLION on the same school system.
-
That comes from various methods of
taxation, at federal, state, and local levels. Income taxes, sales
taxes, fees, etc.
-
Even if passed, the estimated $2 million a
year will pay less than TWO PERCENT of the budget, IF all of the money
goes to the schools. The money could be spent in any way the County
Commission sees fit.
-
For the county government to claim this is
about property tax relief is ABSURD!
-
What we need is a solid plan the voters
approve, not a blank check writing authority that STILL won't do the job.
Welcome to the official website of the Dennis Justice
for Board of Education campaign. For far too long, those of us who
have been ignored by the Board of Education and County Commission needed
representation. I offer my candidacy to be one of hopefully many
voices for real change.
Join our movement to "Change the Atmosphere" of how we
address real issues in ways that unite Henderson County, not appease
special interest groups and non-responsive government bodies.
I pledge nothing more than an independent voice who
looks at the best solutions for the kids and the taxpayers. Whenever
there is waste in County government, I will scream about it.
Whenever there are ways to address school construction for less money, I
will pursue it. And while I do not "put my finger in the wind" and
play the game of "compromise at all costs," and it is impossible to please
everybody on every issue, I do try to listen to different sides of
arguments to see if there are reasonable accommodations that can be made.
My "Issues" page should give a perspective of how I approach the office
and the issues for it.
-
I am a conservative independent, and generally have a
conservative mindset about education. I do not apologize for that.
-
I believe in "education," not just schools.
-
I support the right of parents to educate their children
according to their conscience.
-
I believe that fixing schools are cheaper than building
schools or extensive renovations. We should generally fund the
current plan to fix all the schools.
-
I will abide by the State Constitution and will do
everything I can to make sure we have a real "general, unified" school
system, and our facility plans short and long-term should reflect that.
The kids at Bruce Drysdale Elementary are just as important as the kids in
Fletcher Elementary, for example.
-
I have four children in the public school system.
While it does offer perspectives, that does not qualify me any more than
being a retired teacher supposedly qualifies other candidates. What
matters is what we think we should do from here for the school system.
