Campaign themes
2012
Lieberman's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]
- Truth
- Excerpt: "...only after politicians are truthful with themselves and their constituents, can they begin to tackle the state’s problems."
- Transparency
- Excerpt: "Lieberman has proposed building a 'government dashboard' that would digitally track whether the state was staying on target financially, determine if it was meeting key performance indicators and continually update analytics such as the 'cost of government per resident' and the 'percent [of] pension funds [that] are underfunded'."
- Take action
- Excerpt: "Lieberman said that he encouraged new groups to form that would spur innovation and spit out new businesses, but he gave no indication that he expected the state to fund such programs."
- Tax reform
- Excerpt: "Lieberman supports tax reform that even he called 'a pretty radical idea' — one that would allow Illinois resident to 'vote with their tax dollars' by allowing each taxpayer to choose and allocate how their money would be spent."
