A fresh view on local government and business





In my opinion businesses should be responsible to support their local government / community by some or all of the following.

  • Using local suppliers as much as it can to help support other local businesses to maintain economic health of the local government

  • Volunteering at private or government sanctioned events that bring members of the community together

  • Working with the government leaders to lower the impact poorly managed businesses can have on the community & environment

  • Support local schools by philanthropy and leadership assuring the students coming out of those schools will be equipped with the education and tools to be a valued member of the community

God gave us two eyes and two ears but only one mouth for a reason.

Business burgeons without government interference; Government fails without businesses

In my opinion local governments have several important rolls and responsibilities.

  • Provide an environment that is safe for all residents and businesses

  • Listen to and respond to businesses and the community, keeping regulations aligned with the needs of both the businesses and the residents.

  • Build and maintain an infrastructure required to maintain a high quality of life

  • Enforce local laws to ensure harmonious communities

  • Create opportunities through policies to enable businesses to flourish

  • Lead both business and residents into the future with a fiscally and environmentally sound comprehensive plan
