There are a great many reasons why Clint Burson is the best candidate for County Commissioner District 4. They are out there for all to see if one takes the time to look. Let me focus on just one, planning for the future growth in our county .
First, let me be clear, Clint has never stated that he favors county wide zoning or that he would pursue it when elected. Planning for our future growth is a very different discussion than that of zoning.
Truth is we all plan, usually daily. We plan for retirement, our kids’ education and many aspects of our daily lives. We do this because the future is full of unknowns and rather than always having to react and catch up to change we want options so we can be ready. This just makes sense and usually saves taxpayer dollars as well.
Planning for our growth has far more to do with protecting what we have than limiting what we can do.
At a Stevensville forum two weeks ago the question of a growth plan was asked. Clint gave a reasoned and sensible approach which included the need for evaluation of fire, and police, roads and other essential infrastructure so as to have the least impact on what is already here. Mr. Burrows had a one word answer “NO”, no alternatives, no leadership. We as county residents deserve better.
Take time to learn what Clint really stands for. Go to his Facebook page and website; voteforClint.com, or call him. Then cast an educated vote for the future of our county.
