What two things would you cut in the state budget? She would stop spending on statewide primary school testing that does not fulfill the federal No Child Left Behind requirements. "If we did a stay on those state tests that is $40 million that we could save (over two years) and probably with no harm to anyone." She also said that the state could save money in production and mailing costs by allowing hunters to get licenses electronically.

Are there any taxes you would be in favor of increasing? "I can't think of any."
