As a member of the Colorado Union of Taxpayers, I have pledged the following to the voters in House District 42:
TABOR- to honor and uphold the spirit as well as the letter of TABOR
New Taxes - to oppose any new net tax increase
Spending Limit - to limit government spending to growth of Colorado population and inflation.
Tax Surplus - to support the refund of surplus taxes to the citizens of Colorado proportional to their contributions
Prioritize Spending - to support prioritizing the budget by shifting spending from lower valued programs to higher priorities, and not fund spending with new taxes.
Education - to support educational alternatives such as vouchers to create competition and improve student results at a lower cost.
Privatize - to support privatization of government departments and functions to make them more efficient and less expensive
Property Rights - to defend property rights from "takings" by government or by regulation.
Payroll Deductions - to oppose payroll deductions that are used for political purposes.
Petition Rights - to support the citizen's right to petition with rules as non-restrictive as possible.
If elected my ongoing focus will be directed at respecting you as a taxpayer and never forget who "I" work for.
