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.
- I would finish the job of reforming welfare. I would vote to stop the use of EBT cards at ATM machines. I will vote to require drug testing for anybody that is receiving welfare with reasonable suspicion. We need less regulations and lower taxes and Tort Reform to stimulate the business's here in Maine, this would also increase the amount of business's that would want to come to Maine.
