TJ REILLY.For Stable School Funding.
We need adequate and stable school funding. Having personally attended both a public and private high school, I understand how school waste and under funding affects the ability of a school to meet the needs of today's students. The ability to attract and retain good teachers is directly linked to stable funding.
TJ REILLY.Efficiency in Government, Not New Taxes.
As a small business owner, I have learned that efficiency is the key to profitability, not charging additional fees. The state, like any other business, must also reduce waste and become more efficient in order to have a balanced budget and continue to provide essential services to our citizens.
In-san-i-ty: continuing to do the same thing and then expecting a different result.
Wisdom: sound mental capacity and understanding typically marked by practicality
