My name is Orlando Alfonso and I am running for the Wausau City Council and the Marathon County Board, representing District 5.
Are you tired of high property taxes, ridiculous water bills and terrible roads? Are you fed up with local politicians that treat our municipal finances like teenagers with their parents credit card? Have you "had it" with representatives that are more interested in shaping our private lives than in providing the basic services that we taxpayer deserve? If so, can I count on your vote this April 2nd?
Thank you and God bless,
Orlando Alfonso
The purpose of municipal government is to provide traditional basic services effectively and efficiently. Traditional basic services are those that center on public safety. They include police, fire, public works, parks, and at the county level, courts and public health. Government should not be involved in an individual citizens lifestyle, social, or personal decisions.
On Fiscal Issues
We need grow the tax base , not scare it out of town! Our debt will soon take 20% of our budget to service. That's almost as much as the police budget! Our property tax and water bills are too high. Hey renters --- you pay them too! And your current politicians wonder why there is no affordable housing? We must tax less, regulate less, and mandate less.
On the Environment
Legislation to protect our ecology must be balanced against costs to taxpayers and businesses. Don't let the mayor continually scare you into new "green" programs that have minimal effect on the environment or your health --- but certainly enrich her buddies! We all want cleaner air and water but we should be able to ask, what's the cost? Who pays?
On Social Issues
Free people are entitled to live free lives. Government should neither prevent or promote social positions through legislation, resolutions or mandates. Racism should never be tolerated, and divisive resolutions like "Community for All" that pit neighbor against neighbor, should be opposed. Also, government should not be the primary source of charity. Social spending should be for the truly needy only. It should be cost effective and promote independence.
