Base your Vote on Facts not Fiction

This was a recent Letter to the Editor

The upcoming November 6th Election is important to the future of Kernersville. I have served the citizens of Kernersville for the past four years and have done so with integrity and honesty. I ask you to vote November 6th based on the facts of the past two years and the public record of the individual Aldermen votes. Do not go by the false and misleading information that has been written in Letters to The Editor and stated by other candidates. First, the Board of Aldermen never took a vote on the change that occurred in regards to how we would pay for sleep time for the firefighters. The policy change was made by the Town Manger. Aldermen did comment on their opinion in regards to the change, but the Board did not take a vote to change the policy. Secondly, The Board of Aldermen did not accept Mr. Davis’s resignation as a fall guy. I believe every Alderman and the Mayor have stated many times that several factors led to the acceptance of his resignation. Thirdly, this Board of Aldermen has not voted to hold the school board hostage for $ 300,000. A past Board of Aldermen (in which I was not a member) did show forward thinking and reserved land from the developer for the construction of the new school. Currently, the plan is being looked at by the staff and the planning board. Lastly, let me say the Board of Aldermen did not vote down the construction of a Cracker Barrel restaurant. After one candidate stated he would work on bring them back to Kernersville, I have received numerous calls regarding this subject. Please make sure your vote on November 6th is based on the facts. I stand behind my voting record as a member of the Board of Aldermen and I am sure my fellow board members stand on their voting record. I ask that you not judge me or others based on false information. I would encourage you to go online and look at the minutes of past meetings or simply pick up the phone and call me. I will tell you the truth on how I have voted and give you my reasons why. You the citizens deserve leaders that will stand behind their records and tell the facts on the issues. I have always done that in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Our town web site is www.toknc.com or visit my blog at http://danacaudilljones.blogspot.com

"What do you feel are the two most important issues facing Kernersville today? In five years? In 10 years?

Kernersville will face issues over the next ten years and planning is the key in how to effectively find positive solutions to the issues. TODAY: Economic growth must continue and will with projects like Triad Business Park which at build out could add approx. 1/2 million dollars in revenue to Kernersville. The Kernersville hospital will bring immediate positive change to our citizens quality of life and to our economic base with the creation of jobs. Five & Ten Years: We must continue to build upon the strength of our location and current strong economy. We must continue to plan pro-actively and creatively in ways to increase our tax base in order to deliver a better road system. Establish plans now and work toward those plans for police, fire & rescue, recreation, & public works to service a growing community. We need leadership with a vision for the future and the motivation to make it happen.

As a citizen what do you feel are the important issues facing Kernersville?

Re-Election Campaign Support

As you can see by the election signs all over town, it is campaign season and I am seeking a third term as Alderman for the Town of Kernersville.

I am reminded daily of what a great community we have when I get out and meet with our citizens. You then realize what enormous potential this small community has as we look forward and plan for our future.

Despite some negative press coverage of certain Board of Alderman decisions this has been a productive time for Kernersville. We are close to seeing the groundbreaking of the Kernersville Hospital. The proposed Triad Business Park will give Kernersville the additional industrial and commercial tax base this community needs. The FedEx hub that we have talked about for several years is approaching completion. We have successfully completed the Century Park Dam construction and along with this project will now work toward the completion of an additional park. The Oakhurst extension is underway and, Wow, how great to see construction activity on the site of the Ciener Botanical Gardens. This is a small list of the positive things happening with many more to come.

During the next two years the Board of Alderman must continue to build upon the strength of our location and current strong economy. We must continue to plan pro-actively and creatively in ways to increase our tax base in order to deliver a better road system. Now is the time to establish plans and work toward those plans for police, fire & rescue, recreation, & public works to be able to service the community effectively as we grow.

Finally, we need continued leadership with a vision for the future and the motivation to make it happen. I have been that type of leader and am asking you to allow me the honor of continuing to serve as your Alderman.

I am turning to you to get involved in my re-election campaign. Thanks in advance for your support and prayers. David, Eli and I are grateful for your friendship and wish you and your family continued blessings.

Sincerely,
Dana Caudill Jones
