Janelle Rettig Has One of My Votes
I plan to vote for Janelle Rettig for Johnson County Supervisor, and I hope you will cast one of your two votes for Rettig.
These are my reasons: She is a fiscal conservative. Shortly after being elected supervisor she successfully advocated for establishing a Finance Department. Working with the other supervisors and elected officials, she has helped Johnson County be in a fiscally sound position.
Rettig is a progressive liberal. She has helped lead on addressing human needs through support for the minimum wage, the community ID, human rights, affordable housing, solar, trails, the emergency management center, alternatives to jail and funding for human services. She was co-chair of the committee to win county approval of funding for the county Conservation Board, which will benefit residents for centuries to come.
And one of her unique attributes is she understands and practices the democratic progress. This was clearly demonstrated in her objection to the process recently used by the supervisors in the development and adoption of the County Strategic Plan. She studies the issues, she listens to the appointed boards and committees, and she seeks innovative solutions.
I have observed the operation of the supervisors for over 50 years. I believe it is important that Janelle Rettig be re-elected so she can continue to help move Johnson County forth as a livable and welcoming community for all persons.
