Get StartedVermont must create a regulatory and fiscal environment that encourages good jobs to stay in Vermont, and that attracts not only new employers, but entire industries. A sample of Randy's job-creating ideas include Vermont-domiciled Baby Boomer wealth transfer financial models, "flag of convenience" licensing and registration for interstate commerce, developing a framework to incentivize state agencies to shift more Information Technology work to instate companies, and developing an active strategy to work with our existing employers to keep the jobs we already have.

Vermont must step back from "renewable at any price" and focus instead on what makes sense to actually protect our precious environment while not despoiling it in the process and impoverishing our citizens. We should focus on what we actually can accomplish, such as improvements in energy efficiency, conservation, promotion of local and imported hydropower, and locally-permitted, small-scale, market-competitive wind, biomass and solar. Vermont energy planners must abandon the obsession with renewable power at any environmental and financial cost, and instead promote energy options that are environmentally sound, ratepayer-friendly, and competitive for business and industry.

It’s time to move in the direction of rational, evidence based healthcare reform that ensures every Vermonter had access to quality care at an affordable cost. We must shift our focus to lowering the real costs of healthcare, not just how it’s paid for. We need to provide greater choice in coverage so that Vermonters aren’t boxed in and have the freedom to decide what’s best for each of us, individually. We need to control costs, through accountability, competence, modernization and reengineering. We must make Vermont a place where medical professionals want to practice and we must recognize that any concentrated effort to effect meaningful change and correct significant problems created in the last six years will take time.

We must attract new businesses and industries, lower taxes on our people, improve government efficiency, promote new and better jobs, increase our declining population, better market our unique brand, capitalize on our pristine environment and support construction of smart infrastructure.
