Community Justice Program: Proven Results and a Wise Investment

We will save a projected $442,000 in correctional costs by spending $140,000 in general funds. This is a small price to pay for keeping kids out of the corrections system. I would love to see this program go statewide.

    The challenge when considering "Challenges for Change" is to stay calm and keep an open mind. The important things to consider are the outcomes, not the administration's ideas for how to get there. Challenges for Change is designed to eliminate drive-by budgeting and blind cuts.
    The administration's current proposal throws good programs under the bus.

    It is time to take a serious look at how we deliver state services and find ways to do it better with less.

  • My campaign is about policy, community, and vision. I will focus on restoring Vermont for all Vermonters, a Vermont that reflects the values of hard work, caring for our families, neighbors, and communities.

    For the past 7 years Vermont has bounced from slogan to slogan, ribbon cutting to ribbon cutting, without a vision or a plan. This cannot continue.

    Over the next few years it will be important to help business create jobs in Vermont. We need to lower the cost of health care and insurance, improve education and support social services while exercising fiscal restraint. It is a tough job. I am running for Governor because my experience, relationships and deep understanding of the problems we face in Vermont are what we need to face the challenges ahead. If you do your part to help me win the coming elections, I'll do my part to lead Vermont to a bright future based on the values we share.
