Why do you want to be a Colorado’s next governor?
To restore a family friendly environment though the elimination of state income tax.
What is the most pressing problem facing our state and how do you plan to address it as Governor?
Jobs and budget crisis, lighten the regulations limiting logging and oil-gas production. Cut salaries rather then jobs in all government positions.
What specifically would you do to make the state more business friendly?
Make sure the Health dept allows Ethanol plants near cattle yards, assist business on the sales tax collection, eliminate personal income tax.
What do you think is the most egregious thing Governor Bill Ritter has done that you plan to change if elected in 2010?
Watched the state grow a $2 billion deficit.
Has the Republican Party failed to live up to its stated ideals in the past several years? If so, how?
If your out of work, lower taxes etc does no good, Jobs are number one. Our message needs to relate to the problems of today.
As Governor what specifically would you do to help the state recover from the recession?
Oil is $82 a barrel, our timber is dieing from beetle kill, allow more drilling and logging.
What do you bring to the job of Governor that your primary opponents do not?
Experience in what today’s companies are looking for, knowledgeable workforce, lighter regulations and taxes.
What should the state’s role be in reducing the cost of health-care? What specific things would you propose or support? What kind of laws would you oppose?
I would oppose the HIPPA laws which would help stop the spread of disease.
How are you going to deal with the state’s declining tax revenues? What specifically would you cut to balance the state budget? Would you raise taxes?
I would cut salaries or payrolls including University salaries. Switch Income tax to a Real Estate transaction tax like Florida has.
Do you think there is a Constitutional right to abortion? Explain your answer? Would you vote to make abortion illegal if you could?
I would defund abortion.
Do you think government has an obligation to legally recognize same-sex relationships with a marriage license or some other form of official recognition?
Explain your reasoning. No, Colorado Law section 14 covers best interests of the marriage to the state and children. The dockets are already overflowing from divorce, no need add to that by licensing same-sex couples. I would help make the state less stressful to families, I believe all marriages should be happy! Lets change the question to one of do you believe in overburdening our courts with homosexual divorce cases?.
Do you think gun ownership in Colorado is over regulated or under regulated?
Explain your answer. The US Supreme court might soon override anything states have done to the 2nd amendment. It seems there is a correlation to psychotropic drugs and mass shootings. I might like to see the right to bear arms as it relates to use of drugs while bearing arms.
