Issue Position: Spending Cuts

Issue Position

We must reverse the unsustainable budget growth of the past decade. We will bring general spending back to a level that can be reasonably maintained. As Mayor of Palmer I oversaw significant growth in our local economy, while holding a hard line on taxes and expansion of pensions. I enacted responsible budgetary policies that reined in spending and simultaneously gave our local businesses the room they needed to grow. This type of commitment to viable financial practices is what is needed right now in our State Legislature.
