Philosophy of local government: The
strength of a community depends on the strength of its
individuals. Each individual has the right to pursue his or her
own goals and is obligated to respect the rights of others in
competing for achievement of success.
The purpose of government is to
protect the rights of individuals and to provide vital services
that individuals are unable to provide on their own.
The optimal place for government
to be effective is at the local and state levels, where it can
more effectively offer services to assist individuals. With
equal rights and equality of opportunity secured by the
government, individuals are empowered to exercise free will to
achieve personal and economic goals.
Local government must be held accountable by the citizens and
must avoid excessive taxation and regulation, which can lead
to unwarranted bureaucracy and sluggishness. |
