Lynn Artz is Looking To Our Future 

Lynn Artz is looking to our future—a more efficient government to save my tax dollars.  Did you see her ad?  By reducing our fuel and electricity expenses out county could save as much as $300,000 a year.

{sidebar id=1}I like her five step program for saving, but even more I like the idea of a commissioner who will help Wakulla County prepare for the future green economy.  With so many people in the building trades out of work and our entire housing development industry in decline, it is clearly time to look to the future--a future where skills of people in the construction industry can be applied to creating more efficient buildings in our county and our country.

Rehabing old buildings to new green standards can pay for itself in five years or less, according to a study by Political Economy Research Institute at University of Massachusetts-Amherst.  After the payback period the buildings continue to use less electricity and to save dollars.  This study “Green Recovery,” shows a plan to create two million jobs with 120,000 of those jobs to be in Florida. 

More efficient buildings, both public and private, can save all of us dollars and create more green jobs.  Lynn gets my support.  Let’s help our construction industry and ourselves, too.  Lynn listens and Lynn will work for more energy efficiency to save our tax dollars.
