We must face the future with a balanced approach that positions us for success. |
|
Nevada is in a crisis and everything must be on the table while we look for solutions to our budget crisis – both cuts and revenue. We need to work together to find a balanced solution to addressing the budget. Though we have to make tough cuts, we cannot dismantle Nevada because of partisan politics or ideology.
We must be committed to facing the future with courage and competence so we build a better state for our kids. Our first priority must be to put Nevadan’s back to work with creative thinking and policies that position us for success and stability to enable Nevada to capture the jobs of the future. We also need to update our 1950s tax code to fit a modern economy, and reform our schools and state government for the 21st Century.
Legislators must not be so tied to their ideology that they ignore their own constituents – this does a disservice to Nevada and our legislative process. Instead, they need to do the hard work of representing their districts honestly by listening to their constituents and working for a solution that is balanced and positions their constituents for success. I will continue to work hard for Nevadans, putting ideology and partisanship aside to come to the table with an open mind about what is best for the long-term interests of the state. |
