• It shouldn’t matter what your last name is. It shouldn’t matter who you know, who you’re related to, how long your family has lived here, or whether you agree with the people sitting at City Hall. If you live in Berea, your voice matters. City government should work for every citizen—with the same respect, the same opportunity to be heard, and the same standard applied to everyone. That’s the kind of Berea Ricky Clontz believes in. Not one Berea for the connected and another for everyone el

• I want to explain one part of the CKBPA deal in very simple terms, because this can get confusing fast, and it seems EVERYONE is missing this point! If a business normally opens inside Berea, Berea collects a 2% occupational tax from the wages earned there. So let’s use the CKBPA projection of about 750 jobs paying around $30 an hour. That would create roughly: $46.8 MILLION in payroll each year. At Berea’s normal 2% occupational tax, that would equal about: $936,000 A YEAR. If this were

• No one builds anything worthwhile alone. I’ve learned that lesson over and over again in construction. A successful project takes people with different skills doing different jobs. You may have carpenters, electricians, plumbers, suppliers, subcontractors and others all working on the same project. They don’t all do the same thing — and they shouldn’t. My job as the leader is to make sure we have the right people, that everyone understands where we’re going, that problems get solved, and that

• One of the quickest ways to weaken a good organization is to hire capable people — and then never let them do their jobs. That’s not how I believe leadership should work. If I put someone in a position of responsibility, I want them to understand what is expected, have the authority they need to do the job, and know that I’m willing to listen when they tell me something isn’t working. I don’t believe in standing over someone’s shoulder all day. But there’s another side to that. With trust com

• Before City Hall makes a major decision, I believe somebody needs to slow down long enough to ask the right questions. What does it cost? Who benefits? What could go wrong? What are the alternatives? And can we honestly explain the decision to the people paying the bill? Leadership is not walking into every room pretending you already have all the answers. Sometimes leadership is being willing to ask the question nobody else is asking. I want department heads, employees and professionals aro

• I’m not asking you to vote for me because I’m the smoothest speaker or the most polished person in the room. That’s never been who I am. I’m asking you to look at something deeper. Will I listen? Will I surround myself with capable people? Will I make the decision when a decision has to be made? Will I admit when something isn’t working and fix it? And will I always remember exactly who I work for? Those are the questions I believe matter when choosing a mayor. I’m not going to prom
