Forward this link to your family, friends and neighbors so we don’t waste tax dollars on mail.

Help me cut government waste by sending out information through e-mails.  E-mails are free and timely.

A constituent asked me, “Why don’t you mail newsletters through the post office?”

It would cost metro government almost $8,000 to mail one newsletter to every household in a council district.  Those are your tax dollars!

That’s a lot of money to spend on information that may be two weeks old by the time you write it, print it and mail it.  For those reasons, I have never used your tax dollars to mail newsletters.  Some council members mail newsletters through the post office quarterly, costing tens of thousands of dollars.

By sending out e-mails and phone calls my office is saving the taxpayers money which can be spent on playgrounds and parks, tangible assets that the whole community can enjoy for years.

My e-mails will reach about 75,000 households on a regular basis.  These e-mails contain pertinent information from all levels of government, as well as a tremendous amount of local and community information.

Just last week our e-mails announced job opportunities within the district, a Better Business Bureau warning on current internet scams, regional road closures, student financial aid, and crime statisticsfor your neighborhood.

If you, your friends or your church family are not receiving my e-mails please call my office at 574-1125 or visit DougHawkins.org to sign up.

Like you, I’m tired of government wasting our tax dollars.

E-mailing allows my office to get more important information distributed in a timely fashion without costing the tax payer a thing—I hope you approve!

Doug Hawkins
25^th District Councilman
