What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Our state and county taxes are too high. We need to tax fairly and spend wisely. To use the resources we have without raising taxes, we need to tighten our belts and enforce a higher standard of fiscal accountability in our state government. We need a strong, autonomous inspector general's office that will implement an aggressive annual audit program at our state agencies. Let's root out waste, fraud and abuse, allowing us to use our current level of tax revenue more wisely."
