Pledge to Schoolcraft County voters

EDITOR:

My name is Paul Walker, and I’m running for Schoolcraft County commissioner. My pledge to the voters of District 4 is to work effectively with both the public and all our elected officials to address problems throughout our county.

I believe in fiscal accountability, and having worked for the State of Michigan, and serving on Manistique City Council — I know how budgets work. We cannot tax our way to prosperity, we must produce it. Furthermore, if elected I promise to be the guardian of your hard earned tax dollars.

I believe in teamwork in improving the quality of our law enforcement community, public schools, and effective economic development. The importance of safe infrastructure cannot be overstated, all of which will help establish a better quality of life for all our citizens.

I will always support our senior citizens who worked hard their entire lives, paid their taxes and raised their families. I can’t help but reflect on what a wonderful community our senior citizens built for us, I’m committed to keeping the same promise for future generations. I believe in a hand up, not down — meaning we have more work to do for our most vulnerable individuals and families, and those who are suffering from drug addiction.

As a Marine Corps and Michigan National Guard veteran, I will always ensure our Schoolcraft County Veterans Affairs Board has the proper tools to serve our veterans. Schoolcraft County is home to many proud veterans, our veterans who served and those who made the ultimate sacrifice deserve our utmost respect and honor.

I’m committed to our community by volunteering and giving back. It’s not always about a paycheck, and for those who know me, know my actions in our community speak louder than words. If you allow me to serve, I will work hard every day, and I will never forget I work for the taxpayers of Schoolcraft County.
