What does an economically strong Arizona of the future look like?
-
A state that is the main supplier of solar energy both within and without its borders. With its natural beauty and abundance of sun, Arizona is in a unique position to embrace and profit from renewable energy, green jobs and ecotourism.
-
A go-to state for small businesses. We need to adjust the tax system and remove loopholes to reduce the burden for small businesses and require large corporations to pay their fair share.
-
A home for high tech businesses, including those in the medical field. We need to develop incentives to attract new companies in these fields and continue to grow the aerospace industry.
