Senate Republicans continue to push a balanced budget without raising taxes. They are forcing a series of reviews and reforms of state spending. There are areas of waste and abuse that we must address if we are going to solve this budget once and for all.

Structural problems with state employee contracts, MEA contracts and inefficiencies throughout the state have forced us into unsustainable financial obligations that will continue to plague taxpayers. The liabilities are growing, we have to change the way we provide benefits and retirement to many of our government employees.

Government needs to be competitive with the private sector. We also need to consider what other states are doing. This will be controversial but necessary.
