Rejuvenating St. Louis County
Friends, it is time for strong leadership. We need to attract businesses and create jobs. We need a new and more aggressive approach to job creation that includes improving county services and infrastructure, better job training and expanded tax credits to attract new business.
We need to nurture and promote small businesses and entrepreneurs by promoting and improving the usage of the County's three small business incubators, which are underutilized. We need to keep our large employers and corporate headquarters here by working to attract investment in St. Louis businesses. We need to focus on our strengths, like becoming the plant and life sciences center in the United States. We need collaborative leadership and a shared regional vision among the many municipalities in our County. We need to work with the young business leaders. And we will work every day to recruit our nation’s leading companies to St. Louis County.

On the Issues
Accountability & Transparency
Bill has a specific plan as our next County Executive, including reducing the county property tax levy, reducing county government spending, and making county government more accountable and transparent.
Back to Basics
Bill believes that St. Louis County government has to get “back to basics.” County government needs to do a better job of providing basic county services effectively and efficiently.
Creating and Retaining Jobs
We need to attract businesses and create jobs. We need a new and more aggressive approach to job creation that includes improving county services and infrastructure and better job training to attract new business. We need to nurture and promote small businesses and entrepreneurs. We need to keep our large employers and corporate headquarters here by working to attract investment in St. Louis businesses.
Fiscal Accountability
As the next County Executive, Bill will bring fiscal accountability to St. Louis County government and will oppose raising taxes or running up big deficits.
Control Property Taxes
Property taxes need to be controlled. Bill would make property taxes fairer by working with the state legislature to cap increases in property values to the rate of inflation, and, in tough economic times, only use the values of comparable sales of homes for the past year, instead of sales for 2 or 3 years.
Answering to the People
Bill supports the election of an assessor by the people, to make the assessor more accountable to the people. Bill will commit to a system of using comparable sales that are truly comparable .
