Priority Issues:

I Support
Keeping taxes low.
Cutting unnecessary spending. Identifying where costs can be reduced and making the changes required to implement those reductions.
Improving infrastructure to attract Business and supporting our citizens. Without good paying jobs our best and brightest students will move out of the State.
Quality Education K -- 12 and beyond. Businesses will not locate in our State unless we have a well educated and willing workforce. School Districts and post secondary institutions must control costs.
State and Local Employee Compensation that is just. We should pay reasonable salaries and benefits to our employees but hold them accountable.
A fully funded State Pension System based on a defined contribution plan and/or elimination of overtime from the retirement benefit calculation.
