| The Geary County Democratic Central Committee believes in and incorporates the platform of the Kansas Democratic Party. Because of its unique characteristics, Geary County Democrats have also established the following statements as the platform specific to their organization. Geary County Democrats believe: · All individuals, no matter what their political affiliation, deserve to have easy voting accessibility, including local polling places and voting machines that can be trusted. · Geary County, in order to grow, must work with its regional partners to develop the regional economy and improve the lives of its constituency. We must work regionally and plan locally. · The Flint Hills are a local asset that must be protected and preserved as it currently stands. · Ethics in campaigning and government are absolute principles to which our candidates and public officials must adhere. We support continued scrutiny of local campaign and governmental ethics in an effort to clearly define acceptable and unacceptable conduct and close existing loopholes. We support full disclosure of all independent expenditures done on behalf of all campaigns. · Geary County is plagued with high poverty rates. The Democratic Party will work with all of its local, regional, state and federal partners to reduce poverty in Geary County by half in the next ten years. We support organized and carefully planned growth of Geary County that protects the rural areas of the County. Positions: · Residents must be heard on a regular basis. To prevent daytime commission meetings from creating a barrier, the commissioners will meet with the constituency monthly in a town hall meeting to listen to concerns and discuss issues with residents. · We believe that the salaries of Elected Officials (not county employees) should be frozen for a period of not less than two years in an attempt to balance the county budget. · A term limit should be established for county commissioners not to exceed two consecutive terms in office. · Poverty in Geary County must be acknowledged and addressed by stimulating economic growth of new and current Geary County businesses and taking fiscal responsibility for county actions. · Voting is a right that must be protected by providing easily accessible polling places. · A back-up system that assures voting accuracy is imperative to preventing ballot inaccuracy and tampering so that democracy in our County may be |
