We do not need a new state department of labor. We already have too much government, and adding a new agency would needlessly bloat the system. We have enjoyed an unprecedented surge in the area of economic development.

Look carefully at who the gubernatorial candidates might appoint to head this important agency.

These are some of the issues that the new state leadership must grapple with. The November election is the opportunity to speak and make your voice heard.
