In the past, our cooperative

efforts have led to savings for our taxpayers. Consolidated buying and

shared maintenance programs across our various governments were successfully

initiated by the Futures Committee about four or five years ago. We can

do it again.

The Mike Wheat campaign believes

Fayette County is greater than we know. We will work to see that elected

officials in our county will not have to resort to doing business through

attorneys, newspaper articles, forced mediation and lawsuits at the expense

of the county taxpayers. We will personally interact with the other elected

officials across the county. This personal interaction is critical to

rebuilding the personal trust necessary for the creation of a "win-win"

environment for our citizens, rather than the current "win-lose"

environment.

We will support any vehicle

to bring elected officials together. This includes reconstituting the

former Futures Committee, the Fayette County Association of Governments

or any other mechanism that will help bring the governing bodies together

in the interest of taxpayers.
