Manufacturers, businesses, and trades are struggling to operate under Pennsylvania’s onerous rules, regulations, and excessive permitting. The regulatory red tape is restrictive, confusing to navigate, and costly, making it hard for Pennsylvania to compete. This lack of efficiency in government is evident in the rampant abuse of social services. Social benefits serve as a ladder to independence for those in need and are a necessary support for Pennsylvanians without the resources to thrive on their own. But there are too many able-bodied adults without dependents with access to benefits, and too many disabled bodies without.
Compounding the people’s frustration with bureaucracy is the lack of integrity in our election system.To restore trust in government, we must secure our elections. Efficiency in permitting, licensing and administration of social services, and safe and secure elections should be paramount.
