Legislative Priorities

In the following area, please explain in a total of 100 words or less, your top two or three priorities if elected. If they require additional funding for implementation, please explain how you would obtain this funding.
- The largest employers in Springfield are in the Healthcare industry, and when combined with the Higher Education sector are important factors in economic development. My priority is to ensure we continue to make these segments priorities so as to attract more professionals, increase overall economic activity, and keep an attractive place to live and work. Recent legislation has taken money out of programs in both areas, and restoring funding levels by restoring corporate tax rates and adjusting brackets upward for those at the very top of the earnings scale.
