Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012
Issues: Transportation Infrastructure Health and Health Care Animals and Wildlife Drugs

As the Treasure Valley grows preserving our quality of life becomes more and more important. I am committed to protecting our unique quality of life.

Senator Werk values our quality of life and great fly fishing

Healthy air quality, good traffic flow, managed development that enhances our neighborhoods, low crime rates and keeping gangs at bay, good roads, and treatment for mental health and substance abuse issues can help to preserve our quality of life.

The legislature must recognize the urban issues that we face in the Treasure Valley and provide the tools that local communities need to protect our quality of life.

Tools like local option authority for public transportation and roads, support for a pragmatic emissions testing system in both Ada and Canyon counties, management of residential rentals, law enforcement policy that makes us safer, and community-based treatment for mental health and substance abuse issues.
