“Over the last three years, the Governor and the Legislature began rolling back former Governor Ed Rendell’s out-of-control spending in Harrisburg that wasted millions of taxpayer dollars that we just could not afford. Jesse believes we must continue to force government to do more with less like we are doing in our homes and businesses.” (Ballotpedia (Campaign themes))
“The first step to saving tax dollars is to set real priorities. That’s why Jesse will focus the state budget on priorities like job creation, public safety and educating our children. He will make protecting taxpayers the number one priority in all budget negotiations.” (Ballotpedia (Campaign themes))
“Our national and state governments have grown so large by adding new programs, but never eliminating them when they no longer make sense. Jesse will bring a new prospective to the process and will review the budget line-by-line to see what works, what doesn’t and what can be ended. He will start with recommendations that have been proposed by the State Auditor General’s office, but not acted on yet.” (Ballotpedia (Campaign themes))
