Some good reading - and great quotes....
Stephen Hintz, a former University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh political science professor, served on the Oshkosh Common Council with Harris and is publicly supporting him.
Hintz described Harris as “a person of absolute integrity. Mark is just about as straightforward and honest a person as you’re going to get.
“Sharp guy, knows finance, knows budgeting,” Hintz said. “I felt when we went into budget (review) there wasn’t anything that would escape Mark’s eye.
”The executive’s post is nonpartisan but Harris describes himself as a moderate Democrat, very conservative fiscally but socially liberal.
...
He admires the older generation who “tended to be savers and investors” and used credit only sparingly. Not so with many people today who quickly become overextended, Harris said.
“Government has gone that way (credit mentality),” Harris said. “Sooner or later, that will bring society down. So we have to change and probably fairly soon.”
...
A county budget differs from a municipal budget primarily in the human services area. That’s where Harris supported the $600,000 additional funding in the 2005 budget because he has “more of an orientation to those people in need.
“It didn’t seem right that the one part of the budget that was taking a hit was an area that was providing service to abused and neglected children, elderly indigent and the developmentally disabled,” he said
