Phil Laibe

Hello, my name is Phillip Laibe
and I’ve lived in Jacksonville
for the last 12 years. I moved
here from Ohio not just
because Jacksonville is a great
place to live but because high
taxes and government
bureaucracy have decimated
the economy in Ohio and
there were no jobs.

The reason that I am running
for Soil and Water Board is
that I believe that cooperation
with the private sector and
volunteer groups is the best
way to maintain Jacksonville’s
beautifully diverse ecosystem.
Right now the Jacksonville Soil
and Water Board does not
collect taxes and I want to
keep it that way.

I come from a farming family
which still owns over 100 acres
of land where we grow mostly
corn in NW Ohio. My
educational background includes
a BA from the University of
Toledo and a MBA from Florida
State University. During the last
five years I have become
increasingly involved in the
political process because I see
local politicians implementing
the same failed policies that
hurt cities in my home state
and I want to let them know
that there is a better way. As a
former VP of the Concerned
Taxpayers of Duval county and
the co-host of a local public
access TV show based on politics
I have fought for the principles
of less government and lower
taxes. It is my opinion that
Jacksonville families simply
cannot afford a new tax!

I will only support programs
that are tax-free, focusing on
cooperation with local
volunteer groups as well as
local sponsors and I will oppose
new taxes and tax hikes. If
you want to know more about
me please feel free to look me
up and send me a friend request
on FaceBook. you can also see
me on video at

I hope that I can count on
your vote on election day!

The latest news from the LPF.

America is still the shining city on the hill of which Reagan spoke.  Tony Blair once quoted of America: "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out."  Hundreds of thousands of petitions for immigration are received every month by the US Customs and Immigration Service.  This demand is indeed a poignant measure of American greatness.  Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate Alexander Snitker knows that the freedom Americans enjoy is a magnet to the best and brightest around the world.  Snitker realizes that these highly skilled and productive people are a new infusion of blood, keeping the heart of our nation beating strong.

Snitker and the Libertarian Party know that people follow laws in part because the compliance cost is less than the penalty if caught.  Americans are well aware that upstanding individuals who abide by law are denigrated by those who would rather not follow it.  When those who break the law and enter the country illegally are given equal footing with those who follow the rules, it encourages others to do the wrong thing.
 
It is impossible to keep all people out with physical obstacles like fences and armed patrols, but the law can be a much more stalwart barrier.  The proper combination of incentives and penalties will work to increase compliance and reduce the number of illegal immigration attempts.  With policies that respect those who play by the rules and punish those who do not, those seeking the freedom of the United States will be more likely to follow the law.
 
America is still the dream of many and shining beacon of freedom.  Libertarian candidate for US Senate Alex Snitker will work for you to make sure it stays that way.
 
Sincerely,
John R. Thompson
