E3 Higher Expectations

Here's the deal: I have been helping people get elected for the last 25 years. I've been telling other politicians what to do for a long time. The day came for me to prove what I was dispensing wasn't just garbage. Time to put up or shut up. Gov. Otter appointed me and I was sworn in as a Bannock County Commissioner on 12/27/2017. And guess what? We can change the way government works. It's hard...really hard. But it's doable! And we're doing it. This will be where I report back to you my successes and, yes, even my failures. I put up a sign in my office above my printer as a reminder: "The time where we accomplish the mediocre and slap ourselves on the back for a job well done is over. The status quo is dead!" It's time to be better.
