Municipal government needs to stay focused on core responsibilities such as public safety, transportation, water/sewer, and enforcing ordinances that are of the public’s interest. Having served as Vice Chairman of the Council Budget Committee since 2013, Ed Is proud that this year’s City Budget lowers property tax rates to their lowest in fifty years. As a result, the 2019 revaluation has had no effect on the total amount the City takes from taxpayers.” icon_political=”political-de-balance”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ dahz_id=”1535531322169-50321a65-6a09″][icon_box icon_type=”political” title_tag=”h5″ margin=”uk-margin-medium” dahz_id=”1536114417677-25cf8f81-9a19″ icon_size=”50″ icon_color=”#adadad” icon_hover_color=”#e61937″ title=”Job Creation Through Free Enterprise” description=”The City of Charlotte has a number of programs that are intended to help people with barriers to employment. By far, the most powerful job-creation tool; however, is to keep taxes low and remove obstacles for business investment and hiring. It is essential that the City consider the impact of all its policies and procedures on businesses. A 2016 study by the Gartner Consulting found that Charlotte is a difficult place to start or run a business because of the countless bureaucratic hurdles. Eliminating the red tape is the most effective way to create jobs and costs taxpayers next to nothing.” icon_political=”political-de-conference-4″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_remove_top_margin=”true” dahz_id=”1562640392617-fb943cde-0e59″][vc_column dahz_id=”1562640392620-f02e725d-9efc”][vc_row_inner row_column_gap=”uk-grid-large” dahz_id=”1562640724969-4b348b2e-4fe7″][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ dahz_id=”1562640725023-722a01fd-f287″][icon_box icon_type=”political” title_tag=”h5″ margin=”uk-margin-medium” dahz_id=”1562640725059-03512593-6e5e” icon_size=”50″ icon_color=”#adadad” icon_hover_color=”#e61937″ title=”Adherence to the Constitution” description=”Our Constitution guarantees everyone free speech under the First Amendment and equal protection under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.
