Thompson: Tax dollars should be spent carefully, efficiently

I am Jake Thompson, a lifelong resident of Kenai. I am married to Rhonda and have two beautiful children. Kenai needs a strong fiscal conservative and a thoughtful balanced voice on the Borough Assembly. As a young parent raising a family, I know the importance of balancing a budget and living within our means. Each dollar spent must be leveraged into the maximum benefit. I want our children to get a great education so they can compete in the world economy we now live in. If we provide a great education for our children they will succeed and we all benefit from their youthful vitality, low crime rates, reduced social and economic problems. We all benefit from good roads, environmentally safe waste management and excellent emergency services. All of these services are supported by taxpayer dollars. I will see that your dollars are spent carefully and efficiently for the maximum benefit of us all. I am asking you now to join me in this fight to make our collective dream of a successful and prosperous community come true. I will be your voice on the Borough Assembly if you vote Jake Thompson on the October 7, 2014 municipal ballot.
