Taxes & Spending
“I’ve always been an advocate for the taxpayer. On Council, I led the fight to reduce real estate tax rates. When it was recently suggested that we raise them, I was the first one to take a stand against raising them. As your Senator I will continue to be an advocate for low taxes and responsible spending.” –Rosemary Wilson
We currently have a budget shortfall at the state level. Rosemary recognizes that fixing that must be our first priority. Until we fix the shortfall, our hands are tied and we cannot pursue meaningful solutions to problems like transportation. Richmond must tighten its belt a bit and fix the shortfall without raising taxes. In these tough economic times, it would be irresponsible of Richmond to penalize the taxpayer. We must cut costs and spending where we can and maximize efficiency in order to fix the shortfall.
