Every Board meeting stayed behind for 15-20 minutes. They could have stayed for their constituents
Working on other projects in the county
Building permit on the property

It's extortion

Our focus should be on infrastructure, safety and then stay out of the way
We shouldn't print money, but we should use the money and use it

Opportunity to take the next step to serve the public from law enforcement to serve the public and serve the people
We're not the leaders, we're the servants
SB190 Bill for the Seniors

Do you feel like you should vet library board members and what are you looking for?
Anyone the commission puts in place should have the same values as the people of the county and should stand up for the county
Is there anything you would change about your county sheriff's office?
If it was me personally, I would have the cities and the county work together and have more training together. Our responsibility is to work together for the public

We have been asleep at the wheel, we own the country. All the changes start here in our city and the county, goes to the state and goes on
Was not aware of the library issue until he was made aware of it by Don Carriker. He has been vetted by the CCRCC
Big on Responsible Economic Development. Trying to get Natural Gas. Once you go east of Ozark, we don't have Natural gas or internet
Why would you feel it is your responsibility to the legal citizens to deport illegal citizens?
Absolutely, we need a plan in place and get together with Brad Cole and get together with the law enforcement. We can't afford to feed all those people
What do you feel about the financial trajectory of Christian County?
Red, Green, and Hawkins bridges. I need to look at all the books. I've managed my company for the last 20 years and set goals. I'm going to be focused on the business end than politics
Currently there is an issue with Black Mountain Energy Storage with a Battery Storage. The County Development was working on it for a year before the commissioners ever saw it. Citizens were awake and now it's an issue. How as a commissioner will you prevent the bureaucracy from making it one sided?
I've already talked to the eastern side residents and they don't want it and I'm answering to them and not to the politicians who want it
When you look at Christian County and it explodes, it seems to have been passed down from mouth to mouth? Would you be willing as a commissioner to look at the budget in a different light than it has been looked at in the past? What are they doing with the money? Why is no one putting brakes on the money?
It's the people's money. They need to know what is going on. I've served on boards. They hate me at budget meetings
Steven Perry
Discussed the outside money coming in to influence the Black Mountain Battery Storage Unit from Australia. He applauded the grassroot movement from the people who fought against it
