Campaign themes

2014

Casazza's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]

Funding the education our kids deserve

  • Excerpt: "As your legislator, I will work to stop this diversion of funds, and lobby to create several concise funding bills rather than our current large, omnibus education bill (HB 4228).As a resident of Michigan, I am excited to see that our education will be now held to a national standard. The adoption of the Common Core is something that I strongly support."

Putting resources where they are needed most

  • Excerpt: "Over the past several years, crime in our district has reached a critical level. We need to ensure that state police funding is going directly to our most vulnerable neighborhoods - those that exceed the national violent crime rate. As your legislator, I will work to expand our state police grant system to do just that. "

Emergency Manager and Detroit's Bankruptcy

  • Excerpt: "I will work to ensure that when the Emergency Manager's term is up, the power is restored to the elected individuals who can be held accountable by the people. I have the utmost faith in newly-elected Mayor Duggan and will advocate for his administration's takeover of city management at the conclusion of Kevyn Orr's term. Further, we must protect the pensions of the hard working men and women that depend on them during Detroit's bankruptcy."

Taxes and Economic Development

  • Excerpt: "The tax burden must be removed from the hard working men and women that make our communities great. I support gradually reducing the state income tax to 3.9 % and easing state property taxes."
