Answer from Mervin Evans:
Economic recovery will come from the private sector, not from government. In fact, government policies have harmed our state's economy and driven businesses to other states or countries. We need to end the anti-business attitude in Sacramento and invite good, job-creating businesses back to California with lower taxes and less onerous regulations.
Answer from Mervin Evans:
California's deficit and yearly budget crisis is the direct result of years of reckless spending decisions by the Legislature. We need to tear up the legislature's credit card and put a cap on spending, to stop the rapid growth of government.
Answer from Mervin Evans:
Answer from Mervin Evans:
High taxes hurt families and small businesses and harm our economy. I strongly oppose any plan that raises taxes in California. I oppose any scheme to lower the vote requirement for tax increases or to dismantle Proposition 13, which has protected generations of Californians from unfair property tax increases.
