Issue Position: Job Creation & Retention

Issue Position

The state legislature needs to stop passing job-killing, tax-raising legislation, and support our manufacturers, small business, and farmers as they weather the recession.

* Repeal the "Harley Tax" which is driving jobs to other states
* Reduce the tax burden on small businesses by reforming our income tax code
* Streamline the licensing process at the state level
* Shape technical college curriculum to coincide with current and emerging workforce trends
