Official Campaign Statement: Debbie Tharp for California State Assembly, District 70
The job of our legislature is to make sure that society is able to effectively function with the least amount of interference. Rather than work to effectively meet this goal, our legislature has hampered California with unnecessary and costly laws and unwise spending of our hard earned tax dollars. Last year alone, the California legislature passed a mind boggling 632 new laws which took effect on January 1. More laws and more taxes will not fix California’s 41 BILLION dollar budget crisis; they will only hinder personal freedom and discourage investment in our beloved state. The only answer to our financial and social difficulties is a return to RESPONSIBLE SPENDING and CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES.
