Costs of Government

In these tough economic times many people feel that government salaries and benefits are too high.

As reported in the Carolina Journal Online,

On some state-specific questions, Tar Heel voters polled slightly to the left of their national counterparts. For instance, 48 percent of respondents in the national survey said that public employee salaries should be frozen and benefits reduced to shore up state budgets, compared to 40 percent who believe the opposite.

We are carrying a $1.3 BILLION dollar debt in Raleigh with it having to be paid for in increased fees and possibly very soon increased property taxes. And yes I believe fees are taxes.

When elected I will fight for the needs of our citizens in Raleigh while fighting against the haphazard policy of spend, spend, and spend some more.
