Ed On The Issues:
Tax Relief:
- Ed will sponsor creative ways to reduce the tax burden for the residents of Amherst and Erie County
- “Just because Erie County has the ability to continue to tax does not mean the hardworking taxpayers of this community have the ability to pay”
Reforming Erie County Government:
- Ed will advocate for the full implementation of the voter approved charter changes.
- “Proposition One was approved by over 70% of the vote in November of 2006, these changes will bring accountability and transparency to our budgeting process and much needed fiscal responsibility to our government”
- Ed will suggest the hiring of a County Manager to run the day to day operation of Erie County Government
- “A professional manager can more efficiently provide our county services and utilize management practices to improve the cost and structure our government”
Economic Development:
- Ed will tirelessly work for all job growth and business development opportunities in Erie County
- “I believe that we can expand our region’s economy through: increased collaboration amongst the private and public sectors; continued “Brownfield” redevelopment; expanded “Power for Jobs”; and tax savings on fuel costs for WNY farms, industries and commercial users”
