Campaign themes
2013
Becker provided the following statement for the 2013 Local Voters' Pamphlet in Benton County:[2]
|
"I am running as a candidate for Director Position #2 of the Richland School Board. While it is important, a school board director needs to be mindful of the needs of the school district, the director also needs to be mindful of the taxpayer who elects them to serve. Serving the Richland School District is a responsibility that should not be taken lightly. Being a school board director is a manager who must operate in that capacity. This capacity says a manager must think ahead and ensures the school district is being run properly at all times. The school board director is a steward of the taxpayers' property. When the schools and school district property needs repairing, or replacing, a school bond may become necessary and when bond measures are being considered, taxpayers need to be involved. This is why I subscribe to the open meetings law and the school districts' financial ledger is open to the voter/taxpayer without cost, to see how much is owed and how much the new bond will increase the debt. Every dollar received by the school district are public dollars; no matter where the money comes from." |
