As I look at the growing budgets passed by the Collin County Commissioners, the budget has grown at a faster rate compared to the increase in population.  As Commissioner, I will fight to reduce property taxes thus reducing the ever increasing burden each family faces because we've failed to have consistent tax relief.

The first step I would take for the citizens of Collin County would be to make government more efficient, thus passing the savings on to the citizens.  This is accomplished by introducing the formation of a Citizens Government Efficiency Board.  This board, made up of respected Collin County Business Leaders, would be empowered to review government operations and make recommendations for ways to increase efficiencies within county government.

Secondly, I would call for a freeze in overhead spending such as general and administrative costs, which have grown at an exorbitant rate.

Third, the natural growth we all welcome to Collin County generates enough revenue that we can afford property tax relief to the citizens of Collin County without a compromise in county services.

I am committed to the families of Collin County and have signed a pledge with Americans For Prosperity to cut your taxes.  Click here to view that pledge.

"The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much."
