Issue Position: Balanced Budget and Tax Reduction

Issue Position

Our State is required by its own constitution to balance the budget. I believe the government needs to learn to live within its means just as your family and my family do. As a county elected official, I was faced with a substantial deficit. By the end of my first term I had the budget back on track with money left over. During the remainder of my tenure, I was able to return money to the taxpayers every year. As a State Representative and a member of the Budget Committee, I am using that conservative approach to get our state spending under control and look for ways to keep more money in the pockets of those who earn it.
