Fair and Affordable Solutions for Rhode Island
 
MORE JOBS:
 
We must create a job-friendly environment where businesses can create the jobs Rhode Islanders need.
 
Lessen the tax burden for individuals and businesses
Streamline permitting and regulations
• Support and retain existing Rhode Island small businesses
• Facilitate access to capital for Rhode Island businesses

LESS GOVERNMENT SPENDING:
 
Just as RI families have had to cut back and live within their means, state government must also learn to live within its means.
 
Institute an immediate spending freeze and cut wasteful government programs in order to balance the budget
• Reform the public employee pension system
• Renegotiate union contracts to make them fair and affordable
• Reevaluate all social service programs to ensure they are effectively helping those in need
 
EASE THE TAX BURDEN:
 
We pay too much in taxes – it's hurting our families and squeezing our businesses. Let's keep our small businesses, seniors and our Veterans in Rhode Island.
 
• Cap local property tax increases at 2.5% per year through a constitutional amendment
• Exempt all military pensions from state income tax
Begin a 10-year plan to exempt the first $50K in retirement income for seniors over the age of 65 from state income tax
• Eliminate the capital gains tax
• Eliminate the minimum income tax for small business
