Steve Yuhasz has worked tirelessly the past three-and-a-half years as county commissioner for District 2 to move Orange County forward toward long-term sustainable success. His innovative vision has resulted in positive changes. He has controlled property taxes by stopping the 20-year trend of yearly increases, encouraged a diversified tax base to create opportunities for local and commercial businesses by improving the viability of the economic development districts along I-85 from Mebane to Durham and reduced the size of government while increasing its efficiency. Steve Yuhasz supports education, health and human services, agriculture, the protection of our environment and local businesses – all the things that are the most important assets of Orange County.
But Steve’s greatest proven talent is the knowledge of balance – the balance to support these most important assets and encourage opportunities to live, shop and work in Orange County. The tax revenue from I,000 acres of farmland is equal to one acre of commercial business. Steve Yuhasz knows where and how agriculture and natural areas should be protected and where and how appropriate areas to encourage economic development should be to create a community that can support itself.
Reelect Steve Yuhasz as District 2 county commissioner. The momentum of his farsighted knowledge is essential for a sustainable future for Orange County.
