Endorsement: Andy Sanborn for New Hampshire State Senate District 9

Andy Sanborn - Candidate NH Senate Distric t#9There are fundamental problems with the way the New Hampshire government conducts its business, from the glut of agencies, the redundancy, inefficiency that has grown over the years, and the inability to coordinate information that was built into the system, not out of forethought or malice, but simply because that is how disparate empires grow when left unattended for too long.

The result is millions, hundreds of millions, perhaps even a billion dollars in waste annually that could be better spent, if not used to relieve any of the scores of business taxes that like inefficient government, chew up resources that could be used on more important things like jobs and people.  It would also simplify the way taxpayers and citizens interact with their government, freeing up hundreds or thousands of wasted man hours annually for both taxpayers and State employees, a sum whose savings are (for me at least) incalculable.

More efficient government, reducing waste, and making it more convenient and user friendly, are ideas embraced by almost everyone but not everyone has an adequate grasp of the problem, a plan for improving it, or is even qualified to lead the reform movement.

I believe that  Andy Sanborn from Bedford, New Hampshire, aside from being a solid Republican and an advocate for conservative and pro-liberty interests, is one of the few people with experience in elected government who has the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to help lead the effort to reform our administrative state.

In tough economic times it is essential that you seek solutions that will not raise the cost burden of government, while maintaining those few but necessary state jobs and programs that attend to essential services and to those truly in need.  Serious and even sweeping administrative reform provides a potential gold mine of long term sustained savings from inside the existing state budget, but you need the knowledge, and the will to not just tackle the problem but to take point.

Given  his unique skill-set toward that end and a continued commitment to a less intrusive unelected administrative state, one that is less of a burden on the rights and freedoms of taxpayers and business owners alike, I am endorsing Andy Sanborn in the Republican Primary in New Hampshire Senate District #9.

 

Note: This is a personal endorsement.  I do not at present speak for anyone else at GraniteGrok.
