Vision for 2010

- Put Communities 1st

Baltimore County Republicans know that the best government is the government that is closest and most accountable to the
people. The entrenched Democrat monopoly that has ruled Baltimore County for decades has forgotten that government exists to
serve the people. Powerful interests willing to contribute to election campaigns receive special attention while core services like
education, public safety, and infrastructure, deteriorate.

Baltimore County Republicans pledge to put the interests of the community before the interests of the well-connected.

- Accountable Spending and Tax Fairness

Baltimore County Republicans understand that every dollar spent by government is a dollar taken out of the wallets and
pocketbooks of its citizens. The entrenched Democrat monopoly willingly sends your tax dollars to Annapolis knowing that
Baltimore County citizens pay far more to the State then the services that we receive back from the State. Much of the wealth we
send to Annapolis is wasted on pet projects and well-intentioned programs that have failed repeatedly for decades.

Baltimore County Republicans pledge to promote fair tax relief that will insure that our tax dollars are spent to enhance our
neighborhoods and our communities.

- Making Government Accountable, Honest & Fair

Baltimore County Republicans understand that our citizens believe that public officials are more concerned about advancing their
own careers than they are about advancing the public good. The entrenched Democrat monopoly, corrupted by its unchecked
power, no longer attempts to conceal its arrogance. Citizen involvement in important decisions is shunned or ignored, and elected
Democrats who engage in questionable ethical conduct can count on their colleagues to turn a blind eye.

Baltimore County Republicans pledge to hold all elected officials, Democrats and Republicans alike, to a higher standard of
accountability in the performance of their duties by increasing the access and seeking the input of the citizens they serve.
