My Platform, 2010, 61st State Assembly

GM Platform in roughly this order of importance.

IMMEDIATE ACTION:

1. BALANCE THE STATE BUDGET.
2. CUT TAXES, SPENDING AND REGULATIONS until we balance the flow of people in and out of the state. Our growth should be commensurate with that of other states. We should not lose any more representation in the House.
3. CONTINUE TO CUT TAXING, SPENDING AND REGULATIONS until we reach full employment

HOUSE KEEPING ACTIONS (So-called because they have been cussed and discussed ad nauseam and just need to be quickly finished off):

1. PASS School vouchers for Racine County.
2. PASS Concealed carry.
3. DUMP any vestige of Commuter Rail or High Speed Rail legislation or provisions and get on with sensible means of transportation.
4. PASS Voter ID. Maintaining an honest voting procedure is vital to peaceful co-existence. We don't need people going to the streets to choose their representatives.

LONG TERM GOALS:

1. Bring about a broad, statewide application of personal responsibility and freedom, enhanced and made possible through reduced taxation and government regulations.
2. Eliminate all direct taxes (includes income and property taxes). Use only indirect taxes: for example, sales and excise taxes.
3. Direct election of members of the State Senate by members of the county board. (Each county gets one State Senator - total of 72.)
