Brent Bain runs for county commission
|
?With over $60 million coming in, we have to be better in money management,? Bain said. ?We know buildings, vehicles and roads have to be maintained and eventually new schools must be built. Money should be set aside now instead of waiting until crisis stage where we have to borrow money or drastically raise taxes.?
Bain said he will listen to the views of people in his district and will hold community meetings to get suggestions. He said he will also vote against frivolous ordinances that increase spending and impose unneeded restrictions. Bain is also against pay raises for commissioners.
?This is a service we provide to our community, not a way to cash in on taxpayers,? Bain said. ?People have asked why I?m running. It?s not about the paycheck or even a particular desire for the position of commissioner. I want the people of the 11th District to have a voice that will represent them and not vote some personal agenda.?
Bain grew up in Warren County and runs Bain?s Greenhouse along with his wife and parents. He has a bachelor?s degree in biblical studies from Bryan College in Dayton. He is a second-term president of Warren County Farmers Market.
He is the son of Joe and Frances Bain. His wife is Mary Crys and they have a 9-month-old daughter, Aleni Katelyn.
