Issue Position: How do You Feel About Government Growth

Issue Position

I believe in limited government and as a Republican I would prefer to see government downsized instead of grown. For instance, I voted against HB1460, the budget plan the Governor partially approved just after Christmas, because it sought to grow state government by 3.7 percent in a year when a flat Consumer Price Index dictated that Social Security recipients were entitled to no cost of living increase whatsoever. I simply do not believe government should grow any faster than the real-world economy does.
