BECAUSE WORKING TOGETHER WORKS
Priorities
Together, we must...
1. Continue to evaluate and pragmatically address the historic health challenges that have impacted all of us.
*Remain vigilant against coronavirus infection, and make personal decisions based on facts.
*Take care of our most vulnerable while still taking care of citizens with other health concerns.
2. Ensure state funding addresses our dynamic education needs as we move forward.
*Respond to the impact of school shutdowns.
3. Reopen our state and local economies.
*Place great emphasis on recovery for local merchants and our small businesses.
4. Set our state on a path of sustained fiscal prudence.
*Re-evaluate state budget priories given the historic impact of coronavirus.
