Issues & Platform
The Green Party's platform is one of compassion for the Earth and all its inhabitants, and guided by the Ten Key Values (listed at right). In that mind-set, as a member of the County Board, Edgar pledges to:- Protect taxpayers through fiscal responsibility
- Advocate for incentives for builders to incorporate sustainable architecture into new buildings
- Strengthen independent local business
- Attract new socially responsible businesses to DuPage by working to create a "green" technology corridor -- providing jobs, increasing the tax base, and producing the products and services for a sustainable 21st century
- Support increased funding for county services most needed by the elderly, disabled and working poor.
