Stan Norwalk will work for:

Connect growth and infrastructure needs.
Our future economic development and vitality depends on a strong infrastructure.

Growth cannot outstrip water capacity.
Transit options are increasingly needed in an era of high cost energy.
Open space for parks and stream buffers must be protected
Growth cannot outstrip school capacity

Phase out placing over 20,000 children in high-cost, temporary facilities.
Reduce seats in mandatory year-round schools.

Growth paying for growth.

Existing residents should not pay the full cost of growth. Incoming residents and businesses must pay their fair share.
Alternatives to the property tax, including impact fees, are needed to pay for schools and other county infrastructure.

Closer cooperation between county government and municipalities on growth.

Muni’s and county governments must work together to manage growth.

Strengthen public education. Wake’s public schools spend $30,000 per classroom per year less than the national average and the gap is growing.

Competitive pay and good working conditions to attract the best teachers; more challenging academic programs; greater efforts to increase high-school graduation rate and more mentoring of new teachers.

Protect the environment

The lakes that supply our water grow increasingly polluted. Our air quality does not meet EPA standards.
Improve enforcement of existing regulations.

Say “no” to special interests.

For example, $20 million for a luxury hotel and millions for a parking garage for an upscale apartment house.

Genuine fiscal conservatism – put needs ahead of wants. E.g. $28 million for a new administrative headquarters is not a need.
