Marvin’s Plan for  Craighead County

Marvin wants to foster cooperative leadership among all elected officials in Craighead County.  He plans to use his background as an engineer and small business owner to improve the quality of services provided by the county, and enhance a positive work environment for county employees. 

 

Bring a business-like approach to county government

Marvin will create a long-range planning committee that prepares for future infrastructure needs throughout the county.  This will create a more accurate assessment of future expenses so that budgeting can be done without placing an undo burden on taxpayers.  Additionally, he will ask all county officials to combine their purchasing power to save money on office needs and supplies.
