There are several ways in which I feel the government could create more favorable business climate and promote job growth.The State should provide improved job training and readiness, continuing education opportunities, universal healthcare services and tenured retirement opportunities.

I do not currently have a plan for paying the billions of dollars the state owes schools, universities, human service providers and others at this particular time. However, I would like to say as a policy maker I would make every effort to cut non essential and critical spending on and for services. It will also be be important to have a fairer and more suitable tax system that would enhance or increase state revenue.
