Ken NorbergIn his primary race for County Commissioner, Ken Norberg received 44.29% of the votes. With Democrats coming out in greater numbers for the General Election, Norberg can topple incumbent Dennis Hadaller. Norberg provided the following copy for publication in the Demogram.

KEN NORBERG WILL:

  • Work to make county government more user-friendly
  • Work with county departments on long-term goals
  • Work with the Building Department on streamlining the permit process
  • Get back to individuals promptly concerning their issues
  • Work on government accountability
  • Work on continued improvement of employee relations
  • Work on reducing government waste
  • Work to have departments work as team players with the taxpayers in the county
  • Work hard to prevent reductions in senior services
  • Be alert for any corruption and work to prevent it
  • Work to get family wage jobs in the county
  • Resolve issues with round-table discussions
  • Poll the locals on possible corrections to problems arising in their areas before hiring consultants and paying out large consulting fees (i.e. flood prevention/control)
  • Seek reliable warning systems for communities down river from dams.
I believe government should be trusted and honest. Over my lifetime this is getting harder to do. Our government should not be self-serving. It should be serving the taxpayers who pay its wages. When a decision is made in county government, we must always ask, "Is this in the best interest of the county and its taxpayers?"
