On Corporations: Lower costs to business helps them grow

In Allan's first term, he wants to lower the sales tax each year to end up at 5%. The first 6 months will comb through every occupational licensing, permitting, and business incorporation fee we charge, and make them the lowest in New England! He'll also make it easier for startups by waiving all fees for their first year. Introducing the BUSINESS CONCIERGE PROGRAM a one-stop location for startups & business owners, walking them through the business development process as quickly as possible.

On Government Reform: Internal department to audit fraud, waste and corruption

Allan believes that our government should be held accountable for every taxpayer dollar spent. As Governor, Allan will work to eliminate fraud, waste and corruption by creating an Office of the Inspector General which will be responsible for conducting investigations into agencies in the executive branch. This office will also provide recommendations, conduct policy analysis, and provide training to the agencies that need it.

On Homeland Security: Property tax exemptions for disabled veterans

As Mayor, Allan has been at the forefront of listening to, and caring for his local veterans. Cranston became the first community in Rhode Island to provide a property tax exemption for its disabled veterans. So here's what Allan is going to do: Make Military Pensions Tax Exempt. Expand Locations for our Veterans Affairs Offices. Expand Job Opportunities for Veterans. We'll also ensure that veterans hiring preferences in state government and at the universities are in place and being adhered to.

On Welfare & Poverty: More work/volunteer requirements in welfare benefits

Allan will be proposing stronger work requirements for the RI works program, or as many people know it, welfare. Currently, "job searching" counts as meeting the 20-hour a week requirement. Allan will strengthen the requirements so that any able-bodied adult, aged 18-59, will be required to either work, be enrolled in a job training program, or perform community service at least 20 hours a week to receive welfare benefits. Exemptions would be proposed.
