FISCAL SOLVENCY

1. We support restoration of the top state income tax rates.
2. We support adequate funding of state-mandated services, such as county health services.
3. We support the rollback of corporate tax reductions.
4. We support restoration of the split roll levy of property taxes between residential and commercial property.
5. We support an equitable formula of revenue sharing between the state government and counties.
6. We support reliable sources of funding in order to avoid an over-reliance on sales tax revenue which favors retail development over housing.
7. In order to ensure fiscal solvency and accountability, we support streamlining of administrative structures within public institutions.
8. We urge wiser allocation of limited resources through more humane and cost-effective alternatives to incarceration, such as drug courts, community service, preventative and rehabilitative programs.
