In an effort to bring
public policy discussions out from behind bureaucratic red tape and into the
public eye, Campbell County Judge/Executive Candidate Kevin Sell (R-Alexandria)
will hold a Tele-Town Hall Event on Tuesday, February 4th at
6pm. This conference call will allow
Campbell County residents the opportunity to discuss public policy issues
impacting the county with Sell and their fellow residents.
“It is important for our
citizens to be aware of the events and issues that are impacting our county
courthouse and our communities,” said Sell. “By engaging on these topics in
a constructive way, we can work together to make Campbell County a better place
to live and conduct business.”
Areas of policy to be discussed
at the event will include: job growth, economic development, the heroin issue, and
improving government efficiency & transparency. However, any subject of public importance
brought forth by participants may be discussed.
“I believe that a transparent,
connected approach to the county with respect for the taxpayer will work much
better than the approach of our current administration,” Sell
continued. “This represents the first step in that direction and I am looking forward
to hearing the questions and comments from our participants.”
Kevin has also invited
the schools in our county to the call so they can observe the process. Kevin has sent a personal email to each high
school in our county.
“I wanted to add our young
adults to this conversation and provide a learning opportunity that will allow
them to learn more about the local election process. They want to be involved and learn more about
what will affect them as they graduate from high school, and I want them to
have a way to get that information”,
said Sell.
Thousands of county
residents will be called the night of the event and invited to participate.
Kevin has also committed
to a firm ending of the call by 7 pm.
“We have a Kentucky Wildcats
game at 7 pm, so we will stay within the time frame so we can watch UK beat Ole
Miss”, Sell said.
