common-sense

Below is an email that I sent to Rep. Fred Mills today.   The ideas are nothing, but the same type of common sense that we apply to our personal and business finances.    I don’t see why it won’t work for government.   It is only a matter of setting priorities.

Dear Rep. Mills,

In today’s (Wednesday) Lafayette paper you said: “You have ideas that can save us money,” Mills said. “Bring it to us, and we’ll run with it.”

Here is a 4-step solution to the state’s current budget woes:

1. The governor must immediately call a special lege session.

2. All business taxes and fees must be reduced to the lowest in the nation.

3. All regulations, not Federally-mandated, must be repealed.

4. Adopt a new State Operating Budget for the current fiscal year based only on the available, recurring funds generated by the new tax code. Down-size state and local governments to fit the budget.

This plan will not only resolve the fiscal “cliff” over which the governor and legislature are driving us, but it will jump-start our morbid economy.

I look forward to you running with my idea.

I’m taking the liberty of copying several interested citizens on this email.

Yours truly,

C.B.
