Rifat's focus is on sound financial management. A fiscally-responsible Democrat, Rifat’s top priority is to ensure that every tax dollar is collected equitably and spent rationally: 

• Fiscally Responsible
  You don’t plan corporate budgets on hoped-for revenues, and shouldn’t in county budgets either.
• Challenging Group-Think
  Current board members got us into this fiscal mess – it will take new, independent and objective board members to get us out.
