2017 Republican gubernatorial nominee Ed Gillespie today issued the following statement following Governor Terry McAuliffe’s remarks to the Joint Money Committee:
“Our next governor must address the long term economic trends facing our Commonwealth with new policies to get us growing again. Our economy is stuck, and has been for six straight years. Under the current administration, Virginia fell to the bottom ten states in economic growth. It is time to get our economy growing again, in a truly sustainable manner. We can with the right policies, such as lowering taxes for all Virginians, so families can keep more of what they earn and businesses can grow and hire more workers; reducing burdensome regulations that inhibit job growth; and repealing outdated mandates that serve to block the dynamic creativity and innovation we need to unleash in our economy.”
