Issue Position: Economic Development

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012

Economic stability and job growth are my top priorities. We want to ensure that Minnesota remains an attractive place for businesses of all sizes to expand and relocate.

As your elected representative, I will advocate:

*public investment in research and development
*reduced regulatory hurdles for small business startup and expansion
*state tax incentives, such as the Urban Initiative Loan Program, and other *policies that boost private capital investment in urban core infrastructure-- Downtown Council's "Downtown 2025 Plan", which calls for sustainable green infrastructure along the riverfront and a continuation of Minneapolis's sports-entertainment momentum with a new Vikings' Stadium in our district
