VOTE DEBBIE TURNER, DISTRICT 8 COUNTY COMMISSIONER!!! DO YOU WANT A YES MAN OR A KNOW WOMAN TO REPRESENT YOU IN COUNTY GOVERNMENT? I WORK AND ANSWER TO THE PEOPLE IN THE 8TH DISTRICT AND THE ENTIRE COUNTY AS A WHOLE. MY ALLEGIANCE IS WITH YOU AND NOT WITH SPECIAL INTERESTS GROUPS. I HAVE NO PERSONAL AGENDAS NOR DO I SUPPORT ANY. I HAVE FOUGHT FOR TRANSPARENCY IN COUNTY AFFAIRS FOR 4 YEARS AND AS HARD AS I HAVE FOUGHT FOR IT, OTHER COMMISSIONERS HAVE FOUGHT AGAINST IT. I BELIEVE IN FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY AND I CONTINUALLY FIGHT AGAINST WASTEFUL SPENDING. I SPENT 9 HOURS MAKING OVER A MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF CUTS TO LAST YEARS BUDGET AND THE BUDGET DIRECTOR NEVER EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED THEM CAUSE I WASNT IN THEIR NETWORK. I ALSO GAVE SUGGESTIONS FOR GENERATING REVENUE BUT THEY ALSO WERE IGNORED. EVEN THOUGH I FEEL COUNTY EMPLOYEES DESERVED RAISES, I VOTED AGAINST THEM BECAUSE WE HAD DEFICIT BUDGETS AND THE COUNTY COULDNT AFFORD TO GIVE THEM A RAISE. I FOUGHT AND VOTED FOR AN AUDIT COMMITTEE EVERY TIME. THE ONLY REASON WE FINALLY GOT ONE IS AFTER THE STATE COMTROLLER TOLD US WE HAD TOO! MAURY COUNTY TAXPAYERS WERE CHEATED OUT OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHEN THE SOLID WASTE DIRECTOR SOLD SCRAP TO HIS BROTHER AT TAP FOR A PENNY A POUND FOR 7 YEARS! I VOTED FOR HIRING FREEZES TO HELP SAVE THE COUNTY MONEY--NONE EVER PASSED OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS. I VOTED FOR THE SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. I SUPPORTED AND VOTED FOR AN AUTOMATED TIME KEEPING SYSTEM TO IMPROVE THE PAYRIOLL PROCESS. TO THIS DAY HAND WRITTEN TIME SHEETS ARE BEING USED. I WAS THE FIRST COMMISSIONER AND ONLY ONE OF JUST A FEW WHO CAME OUT FIGHTING AGAINST THE MEGA DUMP WHICH WOULD HAVE DESTROYED OUR COUNTY. I FOUGHT FOR THE GYM WALL TO BE REPAIRED AT CULLEOKA UNIT SCHOOL ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ONLY TO HAVE IT CONTINUALLY DISMISSED. WHEN AN ENGINEER WAS FINALLY SENT TO INSPECT IT AND WHEN IT WAS DEEMED UNSAFE I VOTED FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM TO TAKE 2 MILLION DOLLARS FROM THEIR FUND BALANCE TO MAKE THE REPAIRS AND ALSO FOR REPAIRS AT OTHER SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTY. IM AN AVID SUPPORTER OF ALL THE ENDEAVORS OF THE CULLEOKA UNIT SCHOOL, CULLEOKA PERFORMING ARTS, THE CULLEOKA CHORUSES, THE BLUE KNIGHTS DRILL TEAM, FFA, ACADEMICS, AND SPORTS. I BELEIVE WE HAVE SOME OF THE BEST TEACHERS IN THE COUNTRY; I JUST WSH THEY WERE ALLOWED THE FREEDOM TO DO THEIR JOB AND NOT BE DICTATED AND INTIMIDATED AS TO HOW AND WHAT THEY TEACH. I SUPPORT FUNDING AT THE TEACHER/STUDENT LEVEL EVEN THOUGH IT VERY RARELY MAKES IT DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL. I SUPPORTED AND VOTED FOR A NEW CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION/DETECTIVE BUILDING THAT PROVIDES AN ENVIRONMENT CONDUSIVE TO SOLVING CRIME AND PROVIDES A SAFE & SECURE PLACE FOR EVIDENCE TO BE HOUSED. AS A MEMBER OF THE SAFETY COMMITTEE, I HAVE SUPPORTED THE ENDEAVORS OF MAURY RURAL FIRE/MAURY COUNTY FIRE DEPT. AND FOUGHT & VOTED FOR A NEW RESCUE TRUCK TO SERVE THE CITIZENS OF MAURY COUNTY. I AM A STRONG ADVOCATE OF A NEW FIRE HALL TO SERVE THE CITIZENS IN EASTERN MAURY COUNTY B/C OF INADEQUATE COVERAGE & PROTECTION WHICH HAS LED TO INCREASED INSURANCE PREMIUMS. I HAVE SUPPORTED AND VOTED FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO GET BETTER PAYING JOBS TO MC. I SUPPORT FUNDING OF MAURY ALLIANCE AND THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BOARD. I SUPPORT & VOTE FOR FUNDING OF MAURY COUNTYS NON PROFIT AGENCIES THAT PROVIDE TREMENDOUS SUPPORT TO THOSE CITIZENS WITH GREAT NEED, IE: SENIOR CITIZENS, THE FAMILY CENTER, THE CENTER OF HOPE, CASA, AND THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB. OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS ON THE COUNTY COMMISSION I HAVE GAINED THE WISDOM & KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO MAKE GOOD DECISONS FOR THE CITIZENS/TAXPAYERS. IVE ALWAYS TRIED TO DO THE RESEARCH REQUIRED TO UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES AND FIGHT FOR WHAT I THINK IS RIGHT AND IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE TAXPAYERS. IVE ALWAYS TRIED TO MAKE THE DECISIONS NEEDED TO MAKE OUR COUNTY A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE. IF I AM RE-ELECTEDF I WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE THE PEOPLE OF MAURY COUNTY USING MY KNOWLEGE, WISDOM, AND MY PASSION TO MOVE THIS COUNTY FORWARD IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION ATTRACTING HIGHER PAYING JOBS, BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE, & SAFER NEIGHBORHOODS & COMMUNITIES. I SINCERELY BELEIVE IN GIVING MAURY COUNTY CITIZENS THE COUNTY WE ALL DESIRE AND DESERVE. THROUGH HARD WORK AND DEDICATION WE CAN RETURN MAURY COUNTY TO ITS GREATNESS OF DAYS GONE BY--THE DAYS WHEN 7 WAS ON THE LICENSE PLATES B/C WE WERE THE 7TH LARGEST COUNTY IN TENNESSEE AND WE RANKED NUMBER ONE IN EDUCATION! I FEEL WE ARE HELD BACK PURPOSELY BY THOSE WITH BIG MONEY WHO LOVE AND THRIVE ON POWER AND CONTROL. IM NOT A PART OF THE GOOD OLE BOY, OR GIRL NETWORK, BUT I WILL AND DO FIGHT AGAINST THEM. I CANNOT BE BOUGHT OR SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, AND I OWE NOR ACCEPT ANY FAVORS. WHILE I ACCEPTED AND SINCERELY APPRECIATE THE MC TEA PARTY ENDORSEMENT, I ACCEPTED NO MONETARY CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION. I BELEIVE RULES IN ALL DEPARTMENTS AND ESPECIALLY THE COMMISSION SHOULD BE FOLLOWED WITH NOBODY BEING EXCLUDED FOR ANY REASONS. IM NOT A GO ALONG TO GET ALONG; I BELEIVE RIGHT IS RIGHT AND WRONG IS WRONG! I DONT RIDE THE FENCE. IM NOT A COUNTY EMPLOYEE NOR SHOW ANY FAVORITISM TO ANY SPECIFIC DEPARTMENT. I WORK AND SERVE THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED ME, AND THE PEOPLE ARE MY PRIORITY. ITS NOT MY JOB TO JUDGE, ITS MY DUTY AS A COMMISSIONER TO ASSIST ANYBODY WITH A GOVERNMENT ISSUE & I HAVE DONE BY BEST IN FULFILLING MY JOB OBLIGATIONS. IM MOST PROUD OF MY VOTING RECORD AND TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN IT. IT REFLECTS WHAT I SAT OUT TO DO 4 YEARS AGO--AND WHAT I WANT TO DO THE NEXT 4 YEARS--AND THAT IS TO BE A VOICE FOR THE TAXPAYER. YOUR VOICE IN THE COUNTY YOU OWN. NOT ONLY AM I FIGHTING FOR PROGRESS, PROSPERITY,TRUTH,AND JUSTICE, IM FIGHTING REAL HARD FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS OF MAURY COUNTY! (IF YOU LIKE THIS, PLEASE SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. SOCIAL MEDIA IS AN EFFECTIVE FREE WAY TO GET MY MESSAGE OUT TO THE PUBLIC. THE 8TH DISTRICT IS HUGE. IT BEGINS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF BEAR CREEK PIKE TO POTTSVILLE, TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF HWY 431 THROUGH SOWELL MILL PIKE AND IRON BRIDGE ROAD, THEN ALL THE WAY OVER THROUGH MOST OF CULLEOKA. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT)
