Make St Augustine more like — St Augustine

Unprecedented government spending and debt, higher taxes and poorly-designed bureaucratic red tape are undermining our economic progress.

The fact is that many small businesses in St. Augustine are struggling just to stay afloat.

This trend has to stop.

I’ve decided that it’s up to voters to learn about the issues — and take a stand.

If you believe that the key to rebuilding our local economy is encouraging small businesses to make their home in St. Augustine, then you need to vote for Michael Gold.

If you believe that job creation for residents of St. Augustine is possible if we simplify the way the city does business with potential employers, then you need to vote for Michael Gold.

If you believe that government can learn to tighten its belt the same way that those of us in the working world have had to tighten ours, then you need to vote for Michael Gold.

If you believe that essential government services and public safety should be the focus of government spending and not vanity projects, then you need to vote for Michael Gold.

If you believe that contracting for goods and services locally, whenever possible, is essential to sustaining better paying jobs and reducing unemployment, then you need to vote for Michael Gold.

If you are tired of newcomers whose vision is to make St. Augustine more like Jamestown, Williamsburg, Venice Beach California or somewhere else, then you need to vote for Michael Gold.
