"With your help and your vote we can make Clark County Nevada a better place to live and become known as not just a destination for travel. We can be known for promoting a quality of life for our residents that is world renown."
~ Gary M. Hosea
Education
A recent report by the Institute for Higher Education Policy states that Nevada needs to wake up in preparing students from elementary thru high school. We need to promote and provide information about admission procedures for students whose parents did not attend college. There needs to be a stronger relationship between educators, business leaders and state government to include parents that contribute to our students success.
Infrastructure
Our roads are crumbling, sewers, water systems and other vital infrastructure need our attention. The County needs a maintenance plan with timelines and deadlines. If they are not met, we must find out why and fix the problem. These important public works projects would create thousands of good middle class jobs and help to revitalize our economy. In talking with the citizens of Clark County, I find that they would like to see some type of light rail with secure park and ride areas for getting around the valley. They want the high speed train from California to Las Vegas as well.
Finances
Gary's statement on finances will appear soon - please check back!
Accountability
Las Vegas needs internal controls to protect taxpayer money and the integrity of government. Recent headlines and political scandals in government paint a picture of bureaucracy out of control, abusing the public trust and making up its own rules as it squanders public funds. As your Full-Time County Commissioner, I will post my official calendar on the County website so the public will know who I meet with and what we discuss, and I will urge others at the Manager level to do the same. In this way they will be held accountable to you.
Economy
We must work together to jump start our sagging economy. This will require leadership to attract new business and create middle class jobs. Clark County should be a leader in solar and other green collar industries. We are primed to lead the world in these areas. I will work to attract and bring investment and new industries to our area. We can not continue to put all our eggs in the Casino Industry. We need to be a stronger partner with our military at Nellis and open up better communications with them as well. We need to look to other governments within our region and have more inter-local agreements.
Development
We can create safe affordable neighborhoods, public transit and public spaces and new business opportunities. As your County Commissioner, I will assure that development reflects the values and priorities of existing communities by listening and following the lead of residents, business owners and planning groups. There will be no abuse of eminent domain on my watch.
We need more law enforcement on the streets to prevent crime and protect the public. We need more firefighters and fire equipment to protect us from fires and to respond to medical emergencies.
I will be accountable and responsive to you.
