Private Land Use and Zoning Issues
Slightly more than 13% of the land in Apache County is privately owned. The rest is reservation land and public land. In
talking with people throughout our county, I am finding that a significant group of voters are worried about the restrictive zoning
ordinance being considered by the Board of Supervisors. With such a small percentage of private land in our County, land use and
zoning is a major consideration facing our property owners.
The Apache County Attorney represents and advises the County's various governmental branches such as the Board of Supervisors, school and
fire districts, departments and agencies. The County's justice courts also rely on advice from the County Attorney's office. For
this reason, it is important that the citizens elect a County Attorney who can provide sound legal counsel for all branches of county
government.
Bad advice generally creates lawsuits, appeals and administrative actions that cost the taxpayers thousands -- if not hundreds of
thousands -- of dollars to defend. For this reason, selecting an intelligent and experienced candidate for County Attorney is an
important decision to be made by the voters. I urge you to review my resume and discover why I am the most qualified candidate.
