Dear Fellow Citizens,
In 2009, I am publishing a letter to you, the citizens of Jackson describing my vision for the City of Jackson if elected mayor. These goals were summarized in “The Toins Plan” a document that will serve as a constant reminder to my staff and me of our commitments to make Jackson a world-class city that will be the best place in America to live, work, visit, and raise a family . Over the next four years, in partnership with you, I plan to create jobs, safer communities, educational innovations and revitalize declining neighborhoods.
If elected, I will lay out my vision for the City of Jackson in advance, so that citizens will know exactly what we intend to accomplish in the years ahead. Just as importantly, you will be able to hold me accountable for the promises I make to you, the taxpayers hope some of my proposed initiatives will reflect your own civic aspirations, so we can work together to make them a reality
If Elected Mayor My Plans for the City
1) Increase the wages of city employees.
2) Create jobs and educational opportunities for youth and young adults.
3) Establish food pantry for the elderly and disabled.
4) Improve and repair roads and streets.
5) Increase police work force.
6) Provide housing and rehabilitation for homeless.
7) Create vocational education programs for dropouts.
8) Create overnight daycare services for working parents.
9) Increase public transportation services
10) Create affordable housing for all citozens.
11) A strong curfew in Jackson.
12) Create a free clinic for people that can’t get Medicaid or can’t afford medical expense.
Public Safety
Unfortunately, crime is a war that can never be won so, it must always be fought. Nothing is more devastating to a community than out-of-control crime. Especially when that community is in the process of building a new and positive image. In fact, even the perception of paralyze business momentum and destroy the sense of security that a vibrant and progressive city requires.
As Mayor, I will make sure that our police department continues to get the resources they need to perform their jobs.
