Fiscal Responsibility

Evan strongly believes that people are willing to be taxed as long as they see a return on what they pay.  The people of Troy and Clawson want good schools, safe neighborhoods and a place they can proudly call home.  It is the responsibility of our legislatures to make sure the hard earned tax dollars of their constituents are going to good use.  The allocation of funds toward education, police & fire, and bringing jobs to Southeast Michigan are of the utmost importance.  Evan’s opponent talks about limiting the size of government.  Although that may seem attractive to the local taxpayer it is actually deceiving.  In 2007, Troy was named among the top ten safest cities in the United States.  This feat could never be accomplished if we cut funding for government programs.  Instead of limiting government we must elect a person who will put our tax revenues to good use.  As State Representative, Evan promises to allocate monies appropriately toward the causes that directly effect the people of Troy and Clawson.
