I don't see any need to unduly burden the taxpayer.

One of the biggest problems that we have right now is that in some areas of the State we cannot get additional jobs created because they say the housing costs are too high.

I don't think that it's appropriate for the government to say, in effect, we're going to slow down the growth of housing or that we're going to slow down the extension of the highway and the freeway system.

There does need to be a speed-up of the process.It takes entirely too long to addres5 some of those concerns and, in the process, it becomes so extremely expensive and cumbersome that it tends to turn away those people and companies that want to provide much needed housing.

Whether I sign a bill or not, is generally an expression of my personal view on the subject. It's not an interpretation of an existing law.

There are several ways in order to reduce the housing problem.One way is to allow a developer to buy land more cheaply if it's in an outlying area.

It seems to me that it's better to allow people to have more spendable income.That helps 'LO stimulate the economy and create more jobs.
