Date: Jan. 1, 2015
Issues: Taxes Finance and Banking Government Budget and Spending

In order to create greater transparentcy for your tax dollars, I propose we do the following:
1) Consolidate the Department of Revenue into the Treasurer's Office so that we have only one state agency responsible for collecting taxes

2) Implement the same fraud detection software used by banks and credit card companies to catch any irregularities amongst the millions of checks the state writes every year

3) Provide online banking for the Commonwealth so that anyone can see our current account balance and recent transactions in real time, and

4) Create a website for the state budget with simple bar graphs and pie charts so that anyone with a middle school education can see where our money comes from, source by source, year by year, and where it goes, source by source, year by year
