Roger Cox: very financially responsible and our county's finances are a top priority at this time. My goal would make sure we are running in the black. Roger Cox: I feel that we must be Thursday, May 10, 2012 – Daily News 7A I also am highly con- cerned by the fact the state of California is returning pris- oners to this county. I feel that we must make sure that the state is responsible for meeting the financial obliga- tions for dealing with those individuals. Roger Cox: I do believe it's important repaved. It's possible that we should hire a few more sher- iff's deputies, but I don't know the numbers at this time. And I strongly support our schools and teachers in this county. Red Bluff Daily News: (from DN reader Ann) Do you have any ideas how county departments can run more efficiently? Roger Cox: I believe possibly if we were able to find a profes- sional outside agency such as a group of industrial engi- neers to evaluate how the agencies operate, perhaps they could make some sug- gestions to help make us more efficient and trim our budget. to provide some type of vocational training for those who are incarcerated. I think we need to find the appropri- ate facility, be it a farm or factory, for them to work and train in and do their time. Red Bluff Daily News: (From DN reader Maria Teel) If elected, how would you balance your current work schedule with the duties of a county supervi- sor? Tehama County in four years? I think this is a premier county in Northern Califor- nia. I truly believe this could become a tourist center and a significantly sought out spot for tourists to visit in the future. Roger Cox: Red Bluff Daily News: Where do you see groups of people? Roger Cox: I've lived in Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates and through those experiences I've learned to work with various cultures and understand peo- ple's perspectives that are coming from a different point of view than I am. Roger Cox: I'm not real familiar in working with political and business groups, but I am committed to learning how to do that effectively. Roger Cox: financial credibility. Red Bluff Daily News: What have you learned from tossing your hat into the ring and running for supervisor? Roger Cox: have met some fantastic peo- ple who have a serious com- mitment to helping our county be the best that it can be. People who have sacri- ficed time and money to serve Tehama County. It's been a real honor. I Perhaps the other two candidates are more experi- enced with business and government agencies, and I give them a great deal of credit for that. I imagine they are both excellent candi- dates. ter and son-in-law's Red Bluff home with several family members at her side. She was born in Buena Park, CA on August 30, 1920.

Roger Cox: Roger Cox: I also believe that there may be opportunities to develop more manufactur- ing and industrial operations here. Roger Cox: I also believe this is a fan- tastic area for agricultural development and I want to emphasize my support for farmers and ranchers in this area. I think it's great if we can do that. I think we should review all the suggested brands and discuss this and perhaps put it up to a vote, so that everybody can partici- pate.
