Growth – Regarding the county’s exploding population, Williams says he “believes in planning for growth, not reacting to it.”
Taxes – Williams counsels that he can’t commit to lowering taxes until reviewing current expenditures, but that he will “look for opportunities to cut both expenses and taxes.”
Term Limits – Finally, this candidate openly supports term limits. He writes, “I believe that pubic services should be a calling – not a profession. Certain elected positions (those that are administrative in nature” can benefit from continuity. Those that are ‘representative’ in nature (like magistrate) should turn over regularly. So, for some offices yes and others should be left up to the voters. Based upon positive performance, I will commit to no more than two terms.”
