We need to be more competitive in the job market. We have top Universities, Hospitals and
a variable cultural community which is near the geographic center of our country providing
the shortest distance for transportation of products to any place in the U.S. This makes
Kansas an ideal place to develop new business. To this end we must present a positive
image and be willing to provide incentives to companies in order to compete with other
states and countries around the world to keep the industrial and manufacturing resources we
already have while positioning ourselves to welcome and sustain new business.
Due to choices made the past years by our legislative, judicial and executive branches of
government we are spending more than we are receiving. We must reverse this trend.
We must improve the business environment with the goal to increase Employment and the
tax base necessary to make up for this shortfall so Kansas can afford to fully fund the state
agencies and programs that provide the support our citizens need and deserve.
The State cannot keep placing a Tax burden on the backs of its citizens while in Topeka they
keep spending without insisting on any accountability or control of our Taxes. We need a
Representative willing to make the hard decisions that will get the state out of this situation
and back on a sound financial foundation. We have to make decisions on what is best for
Kansas, not individual groups
I believe the most important issues facing the Kansas Legislature in the upcoming session
are:
1. State Budget: We must get control of State Budget and bring it in line with actual revenue.
2. Excess spending: Must Eliminate as much excess spending as possible from all programs
including the combining or eliminating of programs that no longer provide a benefit that
justifies the cost.
3. Improve the business environment which in turn improves tax base
4. Stop the loss of high Paying jobs from the state by becoming completive with other parts
of the world.
5. Insuring a dependable source of energy is available for the future from an efficient and
dependable source at a reasonable cost. (Nuclear, Coal using latest technology to protect
the environment, wind and other alternative energy as technology to efficiently develop it
becomes available.)
In the 20th century free enterprise, individual initiative and incentive gave this nation an
economic system second to none.
We must retain those principles that built our country while providing the incentives to
develop the technology needed to insure the resources and energy required to maintain the
financial security for our country and our children in the future.
Every citizen should be free to develop the skills necessary to improve their lives and the
life’s of their family with limited and minimal government intrusion.
We can not keep sending the same individual back to
Topeka and expect things to change.
