Issue Position: Reducing Taxes and Spending / Practicing Fiscal Responsibility

Issue Position

The State has to live within its means, just like Missouri families do. Families across St Charles are having discussions about where they will cut back in their family budget. We are taxed too much already. So if anyone believes we need more taxes to solve our problems, then Chrissy is not your candidate. Chrissy said ~ "Not only do taxes need to be reduced, but spending needs to be trimmed. We need to look at the entire budget and eliminate wasteful spending and ineffective programs. "

It is your money and your state government. Together we must hold our state government accountable for each tax dollar it spends. "I think it is important to continually evaluate where and how your taxes are spent to ensure a good return on your investment as a taxpayer." Keeping taxes low strengthens our economy, supports private sector job growth, and helps each of us to provide the lifestyle our families deserve.

Government Accountability

Elected officials are duty bound to guard the citizens' interests and spend the taxpayers' money wisely. Thankfully, Missouri requires that the state's budget be balanced each year -- avoiding the mess that politicians in Washington D.C. create by borrowing against our future, our children's future, and our grandchildren's future. Just like a family has to balance its checkbook and choose its priorities on what it will spend, so must government. Chrissy is committed to not pass on a legacy of debt and government dependency to future generations.
