Diane: Economic Growth

Diane,

You have raised the issue of revenue sources and economic growth and asked for a list of my ideas, as have others.

.
What is often observed is that by listing ideas, considerations become self-limiting.

You might consider a number of the comments found on BMG.

I believe the ideas we've put forth in the life sciences, clean energy, the proposal to close corporate loopholes, the various bond bills, the film tax credit and the effort at managed competition in auto insurance are good government solutions--examples of what we can do when we work together. But our best solutions on how to grow the economy, provide good jobs at good wages, and provide property tax relief for communities and residents are needed today.

Towns out to be investigating in their own wind turbines - and many of them are already doing that, thankfully. In many cases, just 2-3 wind turbines could power most of the town through most of the year. (Just ask Hull.)
