Issue Position: Fiscal Discipline

Issue Position

Spend Like We Do: Priorities First
Keith will go to Harrisburg and do with the state budget what we do at home: focus on priorities. That means making sure our tax dollars are spent on things that make a real difference for all of us - like job creation, education, public safety, agriculture and looking out for our seniors and children.

Eliminate the Waste
As a local official, Keith proved he can deliver essential services without burdening taxpayers. As Lancaster County Controller, he worked to increase efficiency and eliminate waste. In Harrisburg, he will do the same by reviewing the budget line-by-line to find new efficiencies that save our tax dollars.

Don't Spend What We Don't Have
For eight years, Governor Rendell spent every penny he could - and even more that he borrowed. The result was massive budget deficits and a whopping increase in debt. Keith will go to Harrisburg to make fiscal discipline a reality - and make sure the state doesn't spend what it doesn't have.
