End over-spending by self-serving career politicians

The social-operational model embraced by Hartford's self-serving, career politicians has lead to over-spending, crippling debt, a lower credit rating, and an environment not friendly to business or job creation. Taxpayers can no longer shoulder this out of control burden. As your Comptroller, I will work with the Governor and the Legislators to make responsible, common sense choices that serve your best interests.

For honesty and transparency to you, the Taxpayers!
For making fiscally sound decisions on programs and expenditures
I will "call out" politicians who make disingenuous public statements to you

I will insist on using GAAP accounting: Generally Accepted Accounting Practice is used by business and government to show honest financial results. The career politicians in Hartford don't use GAAP because it allows them to hide debt and their irresponsible actions from you, the taxpayers.

Don’t use taxes to punish risk

The solutions are there to reward those who risk capital, build businesses and employ our neighbors. Those that take a chance and invest their lives into commerce should not be punished by taxes and over-regulation. By unleashing billions of dollars in capital, our citizens will put that money back into the private economy through savings, investment or spending.

End estate tax and marriage penalty

We must eliminate the penalty against married couples, as well as the unfair estate tax. Source: League of Women Voters D-NET survey , Oct 9, 2004

Make Bush’s tax cuts permanent

President Bush has taken the critical and necessary steps of reducing our tax burden, which have put us on the road to recovery from the worst period of recession in history. We need to stay this course and make those tax cuts permanent, while encouraging the development of new businesses & technologies, and supporting small businesses-the backbone of our economy.
