Issues: Government Operations
Complacency results in overspending and a failure to oversee state government operations. Too often, budgets are based on previous years' expenditures with little or no justification. Over time, the annual budget exercise can become one of self-preservation with the rationalization that government creates jobs.
As in business, all government expenditures must be evaluated for need, efficiency, and accountability. State government should base its fiscal role as an investor for the current and future public good, not one as an administrator of entitlement.
We have the right to a fiscally responsible and accountable state government.
