I will fight LOWER Taxes, especially Property Taxes. I will Vote NO on new Taxes.
REEL IN WASTEFUL SPENDING
Reeling in Wasteful Spending will be tough but it needs to be done. We need to end Programs that are not working and those that are Crazy Stupid.
CRIME
People are getting to the point where they feel they can do whatever they want without any consequences and it is just going to get worse if we do not do some
thing about it now. Over the last few Years, some Felonies have been reduced to Misdemeanors, they need to be changed back to Felonies and some other Misdemeanors need to be changed to
Felonies. By the age of 14, everyone should already know Right from Wrong. Every Crime should see Jail Time.
If you really want to lower the Crime Rate, we need to seriously get tougher on the Criminals. Accurate Charges need to be levied on the Crimes they committed.
All those committing Crimes should receive Jail or Prison Time, Probation, Community Service and Fines. If you swing a Knife, a Bat, a Pipe, etc. at someone trying to do them harm, weather
you connect or not, THAT should be Attempted Murder. There are too many cases where the suspect was charged with Assault & Battery when it should have been Attempted Murder.
Even small Crimes should see Jail Times, Probation, Community Service and Fines. Suspects involved in a Hit & Run should do a Minimum of 30 Days in Jail, More
depending on the Damage and if someone was hurt. ALL Hit & Run cases should be a Felony. I know you have seen the Tire Marks in the middle of the Roads and Intersections where Cars did
Donuts in their Vehicles. If caught, the Driver should do a minimum of 15 Days in Jail, 100 Hours of Community Service, pay a $500 Fine and have that Vehicle Impounded until their Sentence
is completed in full.
If you are pulled over and you do not have a Valid Drivers License you should automatically be arrested, they should do a minimum of 15 Days in Jail, 100 Hours of
Community Service, pay a $500 Fine and have that Vehicle Impounded until their Sentence is completed in full. If you are pulled over and you do not have your Drivers License with you then, you
should automatically be arrested, you should do a minimum of 5 Days in Jail, 50 Hours of Community Service, pay a $200 Fine and have that Vehicle Impounded until their Sentence is completed
in full. This all may sound a little harsh but, it is needed. Once word gets out, I am sure there will be fewer People being Arrested for these offenses.
Yes, the Jail will fill up and so will the Prisons if Law Enforcement, the District Attorney, Prosecutors and Judges do what needs to be done. I say we need to build a
New BIGGER Jail, a lot bigger. And use IT. We use the Jail we have now for the Short Timers, 5 to 30 Day Stays. We build a New Prison on the Northwest end of Leon County or in the northern
Jefferson County area. To help pay for them we stop spending money on the failed Programs that have been designed to prevent Crime and to try to convince the youth from going down that path and
redirect it towards building the new Prison. I would also like to see a special Bail Fee created. If you get arrested and your Bail is set at $10,000 the Bail Bondsman adds a $100 Bail For every
$1,000 the Bond is. The $100 Fee goes towards the building of the New Jail.
