Issue Position: Reforming the Budget Process

Issue Position

We must live within our means and maximize every hard earned tax dollar. Legislators need to go through the budget line by line and reduce spending. We must end taxpayer funded programs that aren't working and taxpayer funded jobs that are unnecessary or duplicative. We must find and eliminate fraud and waste at all levels of government. Legislative leaders should not have total control of the process - the days of legislative leaders drafting a budget in a backroom should not return.
