Keep Control Local
It often feels that the world is big that we can not impact the world or federal levels. We can however impact the local level. Joining or attending your local government and school committee is possible and doable. Knowing what is going on in your school system, helping the recreation committee or being a member of the recycling committee will make you involved and will keep control local. It is a start...
   
Maine WILL become friendly to small business
Maine does not treat local small businesses well. There are too many regulations, too many barriers. Lets look at assisting Maine small businesses to succeed!
   
Less rules and regulations
Do we really need that many rules and regulations? We are dealing with adults and I believe in most cases, a business owner WILL do the right thing. It is fashionable to say capitalism is not working but...the rules and regulations we now have do not allow capitalism to develop in its truest form.
   
Supporting Education
Everyone agrees that education is an important component of a successful society. There are too many rules and regulations here as well. Lets get back to allowing the teachers to teach and expecting families to raise their own children. We have placed such a burden on our schools and then get angry at them when they can not complete all we ask. Lets support our schools, which does not imply that simply throwing more money at them will solve current problems.
   
Real decisions on the State Budget
It is time to make real decisions and set real priorities on the state budget. In recent years, our legislature HAS CHOSEN to not make hard decisions and so this next group that represents you will need to do so. Republican Gubernatorial candidates seemed to agree that $1,000,000,000 needs to be cut (1 Billion)from the Maine budget. I believe it can be done and we still can pay our bills and run the projects we need to run. This is the time to clean up the mess..elect people who you feel will get the job done.
