One of the things we wrestle with nationally is, 'If we want the economy to be strong, what should we do?' Why not learn some lessons from Virginia?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We need all the transportation options that we can get in Virginia - especially options where the private sector carries all the risk and all the cost.
If we can get this economy moving and quit doing the things that prohibit growth, Alabama... can sustain that growth.
Virginia 's tax system needs to be fixed. The time to act is now. Do not send me any more studies. Do not send me another piecemeal approach that confuses tinkering with real reform.
We should show Washington how we do it in North Dakota. I'm running to stop the over-regulating of our economy and start growing it.
Come to West Virginia and we'll show you how to live... how to treat people. We're open for business. West Virginia is truly on the move.
Unlike in Washington, Virginia's leaders don't run from serious problems. We tackle them.
Over the long term, the only way we're going to raise wages, grow the economy, and improve American competitiveness is by investing in our people - especially their educations.
Our workers comp debt is the Achilles heel of our state's economy, and I firmly believe that in order to create more good jobs in West Virginia this system must be fixed and it must be fixed now. We cannot afford to wait even one more minute.
We can go back to economic plans that are only designed to benefit the wealthiest among us, like Mitt Romney. Or we can keep moving forward with President Obama's vision for a growing economy that works for middle-class families in North Carolina and all across the country. For me, for North Carolina and for America, it's an easy choice.
The State of Virginia is similar to a great business corporation... and should be conducted with the same efficiency and economy as any private business.
