Issue Position: Putting Taxpayers First…Keeping Money In Your Pocket

Issue Position

Stopped broad-based tax increases that unfairly targeted Monroe and Pike Counties without providing property tax elimination, and instead worked to control costs and focus state spending on our priorities.
Reinvesting in the Rainy Day Fund to help prevent future tax increases in times of economic downturn.
Fighting for real property tax relief by supporting the Property Tax Independence Act, voting for a school funding formula that provides more for our community, supporting initiatives that help cut costs for local governments and schools, and passing a law that gives homeowners a stronger voice in controlling property taxes.
Passed smart, fair public pension reform that will save taxpayers billions of dollars in the long-term while still keeping our promise to current retirees and enrollees.
Supports limiting any government spending increases to less than the rate of inflation.
Working to eliminate unfunded mandates to reduce costs at the school, county and municipal levels -- and save taxpayers money.
