Statement: It’s time for major traffic congestion relief; safer highways; respect for property rights; a growing economy; an education system second to none, and safe neighborhoods free of drugs, crime and the homeless.

 

To achieve this the budget needs to be prioritized so that bridges are built over railroad tracks and busy intersections before bureaucrats receive their annual bonuses, allowing the removal of traffic signals which will help keep traffic moving. Adding additional lanes on our busy highways along with center and right turn lanes will drastically improve highway safety and will relieve congestion.

 

Ever increasing property taxes increases homelessness. We should freeze property taxes on existing homes. Small businesses are experiencing an explosion of burdensome regulations from local governments, causing some to close shop and preventing others from expanding and creating new jobs. We must reduce unnecessary regulations.

 

Education dollars should follow the child, allowing parents to decide which school is best for their child. This will improve graduation rates, reduce crime, homelessness, drug abuse and create safer neighborhoods. And we must not forget the debt we owe to our brave veterans and our precious seniors. Your vote will help create a better community for us all. Thank you.
