 Tioga County Democratic Committee Platform - 2004
We, members of the County Democratic Party Support:

I.  Improved Meeting Times for County Legislative meetings and workshops, inorder to allow for greater public attendance. This will allow more of our Tioga County citizens to attend, who are now limited, because of their personal employment hours.

II. Increased Fiscal Responsibility and Accountability by all of our legislators in the interest of our entire County.

III. Ensure Fairness and Equity of employment by the County government for all Tioga County positions, whether contractual or otherwise, with the first considerations to be given to qualified County residents.

IV. A State Park System in Tioga County for public recreations and camping.

V. Development and Implementation of a Long Range Strategic Plan for our County that is clearly in the public interest.

VI. Assisting Small and Large Businesses throughout Tioga County, while striving to expand the County tax base and to further promote agribusiness opportunities.

VII. Consolidation of Services, wherever feasible.

VIII. Improve Communications and Interaction by promoting growth of a communications network countywide to offer citizens the opportunity to have a toll-free telephone system and high-speed Internet transmission.

IX. Striving to make our County government more cost effective and efficient.

X. Promoting an Oversight Function which addresses non-government organizations (NGOs), or others empowered to offer "PILOT" (Payment in Lieu of Taxes)  and other tax abatements, in order to avoid costly "investment" mistakes or losses which may impact the taxpayers of Tioga County.
