Bill Burgess... Gets Results for Us All

Dear Marion County Voters,

I am running to protect our quality of life in Marion County by promoting public safety and controlling urban sprawl.

Results! While serving on the Salem City Council I made sure we:

• Strengthened our police force by 30 and firefighter paramedics by 15.

• Improved emergency response times significantly.

• Protected our excellent drinking water from pollution and shortage.

• Made it safer for children to get to and from school with

street and sidewalk improvements and flashing caution lights around schools throughout Salem.

• Promote prevention and early intervention to reduce crime and suffering.

• Increase deputy patrols.

• Protect our farmlands, forest lands and watersheds.

• Work cooperatively, both within the commission, and with others to prioritize and provide public services effectively, efficiently and responsibly.

As a husband, father, pharmacist and former elected official, I know that protecting our community’s health requires hard work, persistence, and a true spirit of cooperation. I would be honored by your vote to allow me to work for you on the Marion County Commission.

Thank You----Bill Burgess
