“Under current state law, officials appointed or elected before 1995 can collect both their salary and legislative pension, though that practice has been banned for legislators who have been elected since 1995. Chris’ proposal will simply close the loophole to ban this practice for all elected officials, regardless of when they entered office.” (Campaign theme excerpt (via Ballotpedia))
“Creating a Middle Class Circuit Breaker Tax Credit:” (Campaign theme excerpt (via Ballotpedia))
“This common sense initiative will provide relief for middle class families when property taxes exceeds a certain portion of their household income. Circuit breakers have already been proven successful in other states, would target middle-class residents who have financially suffered as localities have had to rely on increasing property taxes for revenue.” (Campaign theme excerpt (via Ballotpedia))
