McIntosh County Republican Party • WHY VOTE REPUBLICAN?

Just the “POSITIVE FACTS” please!

McINTOSH COUNTY SHERIFF: Steve Jessup will:

• Put accountability and accessibility into Sheriff’s Department.

• Give fair & equal law enforcement to all.

• “Seek accreditation” for the department with the emphasis on professionalism, officer safety and reduction of liability.

Please Elect: Steve Jessup, Sheriff

McIntosh County 2005-2006 McINTOSH COUNTY COMMMISION:

“First Ever” Republican Majority began in 2005. Republicans inherited a disorganized government in excessive illegal debt. Audits confirm 2005 and 2006 budgets were balanced and overall debt was significantly reduced each year. Foundational changes to begin putting McIntosh County on sound Accounting Standards and Management Principles were voted into law!

For example:

• Republicans changed terms of Commissioners from two-year non-staggered terms to four-year staggered terms. This reduced the cost of elections, and drastically improved continuity.

• Republicans reorganized County Board of Election and Registrations. In January 2007, four Republican and three Democrat appointees formed the new equitable seven-member board. This led to fair and legal elections by consolidating the two separate boards into one, collocating members in a new location, improving training, maintaining accurate voter lists, improved coordination with The Secretary of States Office, and many others. Alleged illegal handling of absentee ballots was detected and reported to the Secretary of State. Actions are pending.

• Republicans led by Commissioner David Stevens revived dead 911 System when Tattnall County backed out. Thank you Republicans for keeping it alive!

• Republican Commissioners proposed and voted to convert to County Manager Type of Government. David Stevens led this effort to minimize politics in government and allow an experienced professional in county government to lead our county out of chaos. Since only a few months remained in the term, Republicans unselfishly and intentionally delayed the hiring of a Manager until after the next election. This insured the new 2007 commission could hire the best qualified, experienced Manager for the people of McIntosh County.

• In 2007, three Democrat commissioners and one Independent commissioner, Owen Greene, District 4, raised your property taxes by two mills per year to pay off debt over four years. Republicans believed raising property taxes at that time was extremely premature and most likely not needed. Republicans were against the 2 mill rate property tax increase. Re-evaluation and natural growth of the tax digest along with budget management would be sufficient to eliminate the illegal debt accumulated under previous Democratic/Independent controlled commissions. Republicans were correct! After only one year, the draft 2007 audit reveals 1.9+ million dollars of excess revenue. Republicans will fight to pay off debt now and eliminate 2 mill increase.

Please elect: David Stevens, Cty. Commissioner, District 2.

Mark Douglas, Cty. Commissioner, District 4.
