Issue Position : Government Accountability

Issue Position

Ensuring that taxpayers' money is spent in the most efficient and effective way possible is one of my top priorities -- they're my family's tax dollars too! I have always been a strong advocate of greater oversight of government spending.
In the legislature, I supported and sponsored bills to do just that--to hold government accountable for every dollar spent and every action taken. We need to make sure our hard-earned tax dollars are being spent to truly improve critical state services, including education, public safety, transportation and services to help children, seniors and veterans.
As we move forward in our state, we must continue to ensure greater accountability from our government every step of the way. We should expect that every dollar is spent for its intended purpose and produces results. I have consistently fought for policies that require more oversight and accountability at all levels of government.
With the passage of WC-1, funding for school construction, Washoe County School District is doing a good job as they move forward to build new schools and repair existing ones. I will continue to carefully monitor these efforts to ensure that every tax-approved dollar is used wisely for this purpose.
