Mike Kennealy on Government Reform

 

 


Eliminate burdensome regulations that hinder business growth

I will direct my administration to identify and eliminate burdensome regulations that hinder business growth, and to roll back the excessive taxes punishing working families and employers alike. I will seek to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse like I did when I helped turn around the failing Lawrence public schools--cutting nearly 40% of the central office bureaucracy. Massachusetts must be a place where residents can flourish, not one where they're held back by government overreach.

Call on legislature to accept audit voted on by 72%

On Day One, I will bring a new standard of transparency, collaboration, and accountability. That starts with listening to our communities--not dictating to them. It means honoring the will of the voters. I will immediately call on Attorney General Andrea Campbell and the Democrat-controlled legislature to accept the audit of the legislature--a measure supported by 72% of Massachusetts citizens. There is perhaps no greater arrogance than to ignore the will of the voters.

Voter ID would protect the integrity of our elections

Voter ID would protect the integrity of our elections and strengthen our confidence in our results. This is practical not partisan. When I'm governor we'll have voter ID.
