The Issues

Taxes/Spending

Family Friendly budget: Limit spending increases to inflation. We have done a mediocre job in crisis years, post 911, hurricanes and our current revenue shortfall. We have over spent in non-crisis years. Had spending increases been limited to inflation we would not be having a shortfall now.

Absolutely No New Taxes without Voter Approval

No New Legislative Pensions: The Founders wanted a citizen legislature, not professional politicians with pensions.

No Double Dipping: Politicians today can double dip, ie: retire and collect a state pension check, then go back to work for the state and get an additional paycheck and pension. We pay for it with higher taxes. I will fight to eliminate this greedy practice.

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs: I guarantee it. We can attract new quality jobs; Increase private investment for wealth and new job creation; Revitalize the housing market and release an economic boom by Scrapping the Corporate Income tax. We currently raise $1.7 Billion in revenues but lose 10 times that by choking investment and chasing companies to other states or overseas.
