CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT
Today I am announcing my candidacy to be the State Representative for Dracut and Tyngsborough. As you may remember, in 2010 I was the first Republican to challenger Colleen Garry in eight years. Now I look forward to a rematch. I am running because the main goal of state government needs to be making this a state businesses want to be because they feel they have a chance to succeed. This also needs to be a state where middle class people believe they can maintain a decent quality of life and young people entering the job market feel they have a future without having to relocate to other states. We are in danger of our public schools becoming the training ground for the future workforces of North and South Carolina. There are four things the state must do to improve the business climate. 1. We must avoid raising costs on people and businesses. This means not raising taxes, fees or tolls. 2. Whenever we can we must reduce the cost of government and pass those savings on to the people by lowering taxes. Priority should be given to reducing the sales tax and the unemployment tax on businesses. 3. Guaranteed levels of local aid need to be set so cities and towns can better plan for their long term needs. This can help ease increases in property taxes and school fees. 4. Ways must be found to slow rising health insurance costs and energy costs which are passed on to employees and customers and lower their standard of living. These are not radical ideas, or even new ideas. I believe they are common sense. But they never get enacted because of the mindset inside the statehouse. That culture infests every agency of state government and state sponsored authorities. On Beacon Hill taxpayer money is seen as an all you can eat buffet. To change this culture we need to insure our election process becomes more competitive. We need to make elections more customer friendly for the voter. This is another area where a couple of common sense ideas can help. In talking to voters I have found few things in politics are as despised as computer generated robocalls. These do little more than clog phone lines and answering machines. They should be covered by the Do Not Call law but politicians have exempted themselves from the rules they impose on others. Some states regulate these calls but Beacon Hill does not. Voters deserve the respect of having an actual person call them, not a preprogrammed machine. Most voters today are not members of either party. Yet under the current system they may only vote for one party's candidates in a primary. Voters should be able to vote for the best candidate in a primary regardless of party. In the coming months it will be my job to explain the specific ideas I have for improving the economic and political situation in Massachusetts. My website voteboag.com is the best place to find my positions on most issues. If you feel there is a topic I am not addressing or want more details on, you can email me at george@voteboag.com. I look forward to meeting as many voters as possible in the coming months. By the fall I hope to have earned your vote. Thank you for taking the time to allow me to make my case. |
