Kenneth Mayfield Quotations

My visit to Kansas State went really good. This was the best opportunity I had. I mean, it is the Big 12 Conference.

My peers across the country have recognized my leadership ability by electing me as president of the National Association of Counties. My peers across the state have recognized my leadership ability by making me chair of TEX-21... Locally I head up several task forces and committees concerning transportation and other county matters.

As far as transportation goes, we need to work on acquiring funding and getting projects done at a reasonable pace. For economic development, we need new businesses with new jobs.

As far as mental health goes, we are continuing and expanding a program to keep the mentally ill out of jails and with health care providers.

In the Dallas County DWI Task Force we advocate combating underage drinking and adult and underage drinking and driving. We have worked closely with the Dallas Police Department and police departments across the state to create tougher laws that will combat drinking problems.
