Issue Position: Top Priority: Economy and the Budget

Issue Position

Spending cuts will be necessary but they must be done responsibly and strategically to protect our economy, our communities and our neighbors who count on services to maintain their quality of life. We need to protect property owners from increases in the property tax and will have to conduct a long talked about review of tax credits, tax exemptions and tax incentive programs that no longer provide the public benefit that justifies their existence. We need to improve Connecticut's business climate so we can put people back to work. Our regulatory systems needs to be streamlined so that businesses don't have to waste time and money on navigating bureaucracy instead of expanding and creating jobs.
