I am a business minded person, able to weigh out and make hard choices today for the betterment of our future.

The ever increasing cost of county provided services will require a diligent effort to maintain the balance without increasing the tax burden on our citizens. In order to accomplish this, we must have an aggressive Economic Development plan: First, we must help our local businesses generate more opportunities for growth and offer better and more employment opportunities. Second, an effort must be made to tap into our tourism opportunities that exist with our downtown antiques, Turner Center functions, Rodeo Association, Watermelon festival and other activities associated with the Peace

For the first time in four years, the DeSoto County Bulldogs volleyball squad doesn’t have Tishonna Riley to lead them on the court. The reigning Charlotte Sun Player of the Year is now showing her skills on the collegiate level. No longer do opponents have to hear one of her kill shots screaming by them or watch her block what would have otherwise been an easy point. With fellow all-area player Casey Hall and Jillian Deriso also graduating, this year’s team has some major holes to fill.

This is a very important election; a watershed election in many ways. Will we continue towards more and more taxes as the two incumbent county commissioners propose, or will we stop trying to bankrupt our local businesses and taxpayers with these unnecessary tax increases? Both incumbent commissioners want to create more and Head Coach Laura White shows her team how more Municipal Service Taxing Units (MTSU) and Municipal Service she wants them to stand as play begins. White’s Benefit Units (MSBU). This is just a guise to take more of your money in team is the defending District 11 champion. taxes. Each one encumbers your property with more costs to you. We need relief, not more taxes and waste.

Last year, the two incumbents, along with two more commissioners pushed through the largest milage increase in decades. The milage rate went from 6.8987 mils to 8.4810 mils, a 22.9% increase and they made no real cuts in expenses. And they are very proud of it, and they will do it again in the future.

The Turner Center continues to lose over $300,000 a year; it has lost an estimated $3,962,701 from 2002 to date; and is projected to lose another $332,096 this upcoming year; for an estimated loss of $4,294,797 to the DeSoto County Taxpayers. There is no business plan, and no changes or programs proposed to resolve this growing deficit.

Nothing is being done to curb or reverse the growth of the Lifetime Post Employment Benefits Insurance cost to the taxpayers. The two incumbents have been scared into submission by threats of litigation from those who receive these free benefits. The cost to date is estimated at $1,400,000; and it will cost another $290,000 this year (for 36 former employees, spouses). The estimated costs to fund the entire life of this program are $9,000,000.

The two liberal incumbents will never cut spending nor will they cut or reduce our taxes. They want more and more of your money each year. Next year’s budget (2014-2015) will be passed without any meaningful cuts. Remember, they happily adopted the largest milage increase in decades last year, rather than cut spending. The only way to get the message through is to replace the two liberals with two conservatives who will listen to the call for a reduction in spending and taxes. It will not change unless you get involved and vote.

The challengers are both conservative businessmen; both are State Certified Licensed Building Contractors; each with many years of business experience. In addition, one is a local farmer, and the other is a local cattleman. Each has their own separate business and vested interest in local real estate; they know what it is to make a payroll and pay taxes. They know how to organize projects and make things happen. They know sound business principals.

I ask you to vote for the two local conservative businessmen with common sense and good judgment who will provide responsible leadership for us in the next four years. Semper Fi. Thanks, Ed Johnson.
