Matthew Falconer

An email went out today from the Matthew Falconer campaign.  Below is the email.   Falconer has announced that he will be running for Orange County mayor. —————-

I have determined our public policy has decimated our local economy and jeopardized our future. I have seen high taxes, fees and regulations put thousands of small businesses out of business.  They in turn have laid off one million Floridians. Without structural reforms to the way we govern I see no short term improvement in our economy and way of life.

For these reasons I have decided to run for and be the next Orange County Mayor. I plan to take the reforms outlined in our Orange County Taxpayer Budget Review Board report (www.TaxpayerBudgetReviewBoard.org) and reform local government. Quite simply I plan to rebuild local government.

A leader today needs to have the basic belief that government as usual is not sustainable. Our local government has the same business model as General Motors, and our economy shares the same fate. Change is never easy, and reform is even more difficult. But I believe I was born for this storm. I have dedicated a thousand hours to research and I have a plan, not a dream.

I will put principle over politics, taxpayers over special interests, and help bring our local economy back to health one job, one small business at a time. If we push aside the social issues that divide the taxpayers on a federal level, we all share the same struggles and dreams. In local politics, it is no longer left versus right. It is taxpayer versus government. And the government is winning.

I have a plan to correct this injustice, but I will need all of the help I can get. Please visit my web site, www.MatthewFalconer.com and see my plan. Please email me your ideas, suggestions, and encouragement. I am taking this step to ensure the future of my children and yours. Let’s fix our broken government together and give our children the same chance we had at the American Dream.

Join the fight to save your job, your business, and your future. Please join me at my annoucement party July 1st, 5:30 p.m. at the former Village Tavern on Conroy Road next to Friday’s.
