Issues
Campaign themes
2012
Roth's campaign website lists the following issues:[3]
- Pensions
- Excerpt: "The State manages 5 pension systems, Judge’s, state employee’s, teacher’s, State Universities, and the General Assembly retirement system. The last one I just mentioned should be completely eliminated; there is no reason why a legislator should be receiving a pension, this is not a career it’s civil service and that is exactly why I turned down the lucrative General Assembly pension."
- Medicaid Reform
- Balancing the Budget
- The Economy and Jobs
- Education
