(A note. Currently none of these proposed recommendations are the policies of our County Board of Commissioners.
Nor, has any current commissioner, save commissioner Zach Lahring, requested any of these common sense ideas.)
• We citizens will pay our taxes.
• We expect our County Commissioners will respect our sacrifice and be wise, totally transparent and honest with every spending decision.
Therefore these common sense policies shall be approved by the Muskegon County Commission and become official policy.
1. Before any spending vote, the specific goal, expected
results and funding source will be made available to all commissioners and the
public.
2. After every spending item has been approved, provide a
public review of results vs promises within 12 months.
3. Provide a public, quarterly review of progress in fully
funding all employee retirements plans and borrowed debt.
4. Provide a public, complete report on all lawsuit results.
5. Allow, and encourage, citizen comment AND answers at all
public meetings.
Muskegon county can not attract new businesses, employers and concerned homeowners without the confidence that our county is fiscally solvent and responsive to residents and businesses.
