Responsible policy that sees the plight of

Everyday working people who

Struggle to make ends meet. Where

Policymakers fight to ensure

Opportunity is within the reach of every person–

Not just the corporation or advantaged or politically-favored. Where

Sustainable effort is made to

Invest in education, workforce development, and our quality of life. Where a

Balanced approach, and not cuts-only, is taken when resources are

Lean and we account for every dollar (on tax side and budget side) before we

Employ belt-tightening measures to get through the tough times. Where

 

Political games and ideology don’t endanger our

Options for compromise and collaboration and

Leaders work earnestly and purposefully across party lines, even when inconvenient, to

Implement the best strategies that will

Create jobs, grow the economy, put people back to work, and

Yield the best results for our great state and every individual in it.

 

That’s all I want. Is that too much to ask?

On behalf of the staff at GBPI, we wish you and yours a safe and happy holiday season.  Happy Holidays to you and we will see you in the new year ready to implement…Thoughtful Analysis, Responsible Policy.
