Issues
Political philosophy
Bonadies made the following statement to Ballotpedia regarding her political philosophy:[1]
| “ |
I am results oriented. I don't like to see policies that have resulted in loss of revenue, business, jobs and opportunity. That is what we have been seeing in Ct. We used to have a competitive edge with low taxes sitting between New York and Mass. Now we are losing our businesses to Massachusetts. Failing policies and politicians should be held accountable. I am acutely aware of the struggle to make ends meet that many Ct. residents are experiencing. I would make sure that every dollar if prioritized to provide essential vital services to the most vulnerable among us. I would be a proponent of pro-growth policies. Wealth and /business leaving the state hurts low and middle income earners. John F. Kennedy said it best "A rising tide lifts all boats" I am in full agreement with that. The state of Connecticut needs to change course abruptly. We have nothing to show after 25 years of income taxes. Poverty has increased from 6.8 to 10.8% Over 200,000 people have left the state taking over 13 billion dollars of taxable income. The level of debt, budget deficits and unfunded liabilities is staggering. Connecticut deserves better than this. Connecticut needs a comeback! [2] |
