Record versus rhetoric and fact versus fear. This is the foundation of our campaign for Fayette County Commission, Post 5, in the Republican Primary on Aug. 20.

Mayor Wheat is looking forward to a positive campaign, one that focuses on the issues critical to our county and each candidate's position on these issues.

Wheat trusts the voters to distinguish between some of the recent "fringe" name-calling and the facts. He is encouraging his many supporters to set a high standard throughout the seven-week campaign and to talk about issues and what his campaign wants to do for Fayette County.

Here are a few of the positions the Mike Wheat campaign team supports:

A win-win, cooperative approach to local government.

Lower cost of government.

An open government accessible to the citizens.

A new "21st Century Land Use Plan" to reduce the build-out population, mitigate traffic and stop "spot zoning."

Elimination of the automatic pay raise system for our County Commissioners.
