Mike Ramone on Budget & Economy

	Mike Ramone on Budget & Economy

Hold lawmakers and agencies accountable for their spending

Now, with Delaware facing a growing deficit, it is going to take a proven executive to make necessary cuts and get Delaware's economy back on track. Delawareans need an executive who will be a responsible steward of their tax dollars. The status quo in Delaware has been throwing more money at the problems instead of addressing their root causes. As Governor, Mike will promote good governance and responsible spending by holding lawmakers and government agencies accountable for their spending.

Make the necessary investments to improve infrastructure

Delaware was once a national leader in commerce. Mike believes we can get there again. Infrastructure, from roads to ports to rural broadband access, is the backbone of successful economies. As Governor, Mike will make the necessary investments to improve infrastructure, giving Delaware a competitive advantage in economic growth and investment.
