" I am very excited that today is January 1, 2013, the first day of the New Year! On New Year's Day, it is tradition to make a New Year's resolution, a commitment that a person makes to one or more personal goals for the coming year. This year, I encourage you and your family to recommit yourselves to reading at least 20 minutes each day. Your pledge to read each day can be one of the best activities to promote success in and out of the classroom, and it would be a great way to kick off 2013!"

"5. Reduce library funding. I love our library and am likely one of its most frequent patrons. However, our per capita spending is $48 compared to the $16 per person spent by the Blount County Library. Theirs is the only library servicing Maryville and Alcoa and is funded by all three municipalities. I propose we reduce our spending to that same level. Savings to taxpayer: $952,000 or 10.5 cents off the property tax rate. 6. Reduce the Recreation and Parks $3 million budget by 10 percent. In Fiscal Year 2013, the city of Maryville budgeted $1.4 million for both their library and parks departments. We’ve been spending that much on just our library. If my proposal is accepted, we’d still retain phenomenal services and assets while saving our taxpayers money. Savings to taxpayer: $300,000 or 3.33 cents off the property tax rate. Delete the scoop?
