BILL WITT
OCCUPATION: Business executive
OCCUPATIONAL BACKGROUND: President, Wittco Systems Inc., 1979-present.
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND: B.A., History, Case Western Reserve Univ.; law degree, University of Chicago Law School.
PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: None.
I look forward to using my business and political knowledge with my community experience to effectively serve the people of Oregon.
My legislative priorities will be the following:
I support an overall tax reduction for Oregon families and small business owners.
I will work to eliminate waste and bureaucracy. Many services should be privatized and inefficient departments should be held fiscally accountable.
I will work for responsible charter school legislation as well as full funding for our public schools. I also support building our university system to world-class quality.
I support tougher sentences for those who commit property crimes, boot camps for teens who engage in crime and capital punishment for murderers.
I am committed to reducing the use of toxic chemicals, preserving old growth forests, restoring rivers and streams and holding polluters accountable.
I support a balanced transportation system involving road improvement and expansion together with an efficient mass transportation program.
* Upholding the family
I believe the family is the building block of our nation. I will work to lower the tax burden on families, provide for parental choice in education and respect the right of parents to be involved in critical decisions involving their children.
I believe we can build a more prosperous, more enlightened, more moral Oregon for our children and grandchildren. I look forward to working with you for that objective.
Please give me your vote on November 3.
Thank you.
