Deer Creek County Commissioner Forum Summary

July 23, 2006 Get Current Info -- Click Here >> Thank you to all those who helped at and attended the County Commissioner Forum on Thursday. All three candidates, Ray Vaughn, Stan Inman (i), and David Kelso, were there to present the plans for Deer Creek if they were elected. David Kelso stressed that if he was elected, he would work with the other county officials and the school board to help Deer Creek Grow in the future. Stan Inman (i) reviewed all of the things that he had done during his current term to help the Deer Creek area and how he would in the future help the Deer Creek Area. Below is a quick summary list of what Stan Inman reviewed: The many road projects already completed...see road projects map Upcoming road projects...see road projects map Completed work for Deer Creek school parking lots and roads. Continued focus on future school needs, working with the school board with the growth and expansion of the school district. A new master plan for economic development for the District 3 area that would be unveiled in September. Already done and future acquisition of new equipment for the fire department. Work done to help build the current fire department building. Work with the Deer Creek Water Co-op to help and implement solutions to supplying water to the Deer Creek community. Ray Vaughn covered his plan for the Deer Creek area and reviewed accomplishments as a State Representative. Helped Secure Funding for Road projects in Deer Creek. Would involve the Deer Creek community in regards to economic development. Wanted to work with the community to develop the plan for Deer Creek’s future. Would have an open door style of government and would be there for the community. Addressed the issue of Deer Creek incorporating and mentioned some of the pros and cons if Deer Creek was to incorporate. Would assist the community with which ever direction the Deer Creek community wanted to head in the future. Continue the projects that were already in place for the roads and bridges. Bring back fiscal responsibility to county government. We respect David Kelso for trying to make a difference in the community. We wonder if the job of county commissioner would be more than he could handle. We think that during Stan Inman's term, he has overseen many projects for the Deer Creek Community. We wonder if Stan could have done more. Will he be more of a presence in Deer Creek? (We certainly noticed his lack of presence when the tornado went through Deer Creek several years ago and apparent noninvolvement in the Rte 74 expansion in relationship to the Deer Creek Community east/west traffic patterns). We think Ray Vaughn has done a lot during his political tenure so far and like how he proposed to handle the Deer Creek future. Will the many years of holding political office be a positive or a negative? We are not sure but we do feel that his integrity will breath some fresh air into the current group of county officials. When you put Stan Inman and Ray Vaughn side by side, you will find that they are both qualifications that mark them as capable of doing the job of county commissioner. Both are very talented individuals that have the qualities to lead the county. So how do you decide between the two? Since Deer Creek is unincorporated, we rely heavily on all the elected officials to oversee our needs. We need the county officials to work together so they can provide our community with the attention that is necessary. With that said we need a commissioner who can bring stability and cohesiveness back to the county. That is why we are endorsing Ray Vaughn for County Commissioner.
