Another reason to vote for me for Lt. Governor: I'm the only small government conservative/fiscally responsible candidate in the race.
The current budget for the Lt. Governor's office is $672,787. This does not include the salary for the Lt. Gov. For an office with very few responsibilities and a position that is essentially a part time job, this is beyond excessive and wasteful. I would eliminate most of the staff positions and cut the budget to no more than $250,000. I expect I would come in well below budget even at that. My republican opponent is a big government spender and tried to add another $348,840 to her annual budget, which would have brought it to nearly $1Million per year.
Most folks work hard for their money. We deserve someone in office that will spend it wisely, not waste it on unnecessary extravagance.
