BECAUSE FRANKFORT NEEDS A CHANGE

Issues

Taxes

I firmly believe that the citizens not only in my district but this entire state are at their limits when dealing with the current tax burden that they carry. No longer can we continue to pass the burden down to our working men and women to correct the mistakes that our current legislatures have created. As we continue to strive in this current economic downturn, we must say NO to any additional tax increases and be responsible as leaders where each dollar is spent and if need be, make serious decisions on the programs that we have currently and in the future and how they are managed. I do not believe that our state can tax itself into prosperity..

Education

I believe that all students deserve a quality education and that education is a vital key to Kentucky's future. Our children today face many hurdles in pursuit of their education. Safety, not only in the classroom, but on the state provided school buses, is a huge factor in how much our children are learning. One of the first bills that I will introduce will be a child-parent notification bill that notifies parents whenever any act of violence occurs in either their classroom or their bus. I believe that each parent deserves to know when their child's education has been interrupted in this manner. I also believe that the schools that we choose to send our children to must be honored and that all steps to ensure this be followed.

Healthcare

Brian Simpson

Healthcare remains an ongoing problem each and every year in the battle to insure the uninsured. While I believe that each one of our citizens deserves proper healthcare, government run healthcare is not the answer. Government can always help, but to be the sole answer to all of our problems in this area usually leads to more problems. We need to lower out-of -pocket costs for doctor visits and put a clamp down on our legal system. High health care costs and large health insurance premium increases cripple families and businesses. We need common-sense legal reforms so that we can have affordable access to health care in this state. Far too many of our families and our seniors cannot afford health care coverage and far too many businesses are being forced to choose between giving raises or maintaining employee health plans. Something must change!!
