Endorsement Letters: Neloa Jones

Posted on May 1, 2008 by Staff

For Jones

Orange County is at a critical point. Cost of Growth, Affordable Living and How Dense Should We Be? These are the vital issues before the Orange County Board of Commissioners. A $200 million city school debt faces us. Commissioners act as if it came from outer space.

Ask yourself, do I need to elect “more of the same?” Do I want to be in the highest property tax bracket? Do I want to drive blue-collar workers out of the county? Do I want more “happy talk” talk about affordable housing? Do I want more public debt from growth?

It’s time for new blood, new thinking and a practical, rather than a “pie-in-the sky” approach to municipal problem solving. Neloa Jones is not a “more of the same” candidate. Neloa’s not a political insider. Neloa’s a breath of fresh air in a stale room of failed ideas. Neloa’s not afraid to tackle difficult problems head on. Neloa’s truly a “voice of the people.”

Your vote matters. Please vote for Neloa Jones for the Board of Orange County Commissioners. You can’t afford to do otherwise.

For Jones

Neloa Barbee Jones is offering her voice, her thoughtfulness and industriousness to the citizens of Orange County. She is running for the at-large seat for the Orange County Board of Commissioners. As a leader in the Rogers Road community, she has worked hard and raised her voice in support of equity, fairness and justice for the citizens of Rogers Road. Now she is offering her talents to work for all the citizens of Orange County.

From a farming family who has owned land in the county for over 100 years, she understands the many varied needs of Orange County and has pledged to do her best to help the county move ahead and compete, while listening and responding to the needs of those whose voices have not been heard. She is a supporter of the conservation of parcels of the open space and the farming land that makes our county special.
