Post Election in Arizona

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer
November 3, 2010

Governor, congratulations on your victory. Now it is time to get moving in enhancing Arizona’s economic development. Arizona has been given a gift by the voters of California. The elections of Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer ensure that California will continue to penalize entrepreneurs and businesses. Floods of companies and entrepreneurs and those fed up with the welfare state of California will soon be looking for a new residence. It could be Arizona. What must occur is:
1) Cut taxes – all taxes.
2) Cut regulations. Ensure that establishing and starting a business in Arizona is easier than in any other state.
3) Enhance efforts to privatize services now provided by governments.
4) Enhance education – do that by enhancing the charter school system and implement a full voucher system. Enlist people like Michele Rhee (former Superintendent of Instruction in Washington D.C.) to eliminate regulations and impediments to educational reform.
5) Cut government spending. Eliminate departments. Privatize services.
6) Privatize, privatize, privatize. Do not create new departments to recruit for Arizona or attempt to help new businesses. The only way to attract new business is to make it easy for them to do business and invest earnings into expansion and employment.
Sincerely,

William J. Boyes
Professor of Economics
Arizona State University
