- Civic engagement is crucial to good governance. Very few representatives have lived the same experiences as those in their districts. All our citizens have different strengths, expertise, and struggles. Baltimore, Cavendish, and Weathersfield are no exception. A educated Representative is essential. Visiting "Educate to Legislate" @ myvtrep.com will bring voters to a survey that helps educate this candidate as to the impacts of specific legislation on their niche here in Windsor 2. As a first time candidate, I need voters to tell me specifically what has worked, and not worked for them in terms of regulation. Please help me do my job better.
- We have to make simple changes to the tax codes that make already existing considerations for income shortfalls more accessible, The Vermont legislature has already implemented several considerations that lower the tax burden on lower incomes that are underutilized,
- Engage. Research. Consider. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote.
I view the the role of the House as limited to doing only that which the local districts cannot do best for themselves. If it is beyond the capabilities of both the individual and the locality, then it is the purview of the House.
I'm seeking election, education on the population, and the honor of representing all of my neighbors. As a taxpayer; what's justifiable for my neighbors is justifiable for me.
We are not an island and not immune to the effects of national politics. I've experienced tectonic shifts in what was precedence in school funding, the role of government, and erosion of the notions of precedence itself. That said, adherence to our own Vermont constitution, honestly and fairly dealing with all of our citizens, and sensibly acknowledging our own successes and failures may serve our brave little state well.
Fair taxation, and allowing the state to act in an advisory and facilitator function where the localities cannot is essential to growth, Unfortunately, equitable taxation requires some dovetailing with essentially fluid federal taxation.
State assistance with planning, permitting, certifying, and funding sustainable community development projects will pay dividends if properly managed. A balance between development and conservation is indeed possible. Accountability and growth should never be mutually exclusive.
The lieutenant Governor should be in the Governor's Cabinet and a member of the Governor's staff should be represented in budget negotiations.
