for State Legislature

Integrity, Leadership, and Dedication

Our legislature must:
  Ensure rural schools are financially able to provide the quality teachers and education our children need and deserve.
  Fund fully the Children's Health Insurance Program, using Tobacco Settlement revenues for this and other health programs.
  Eliminate the business equipment tax for small businesses and help Montana businesses and working people find affordable health care.
  Enact laws to protect our waters and clean air.
  Protect Montana citizens' access to all public lands (and rivers) for recreation, hunting, and fishing, and prevent the sale of public lands for a one-time financial gain.
  Invest more fully in our highway system, especially in the fast growing counties.
  Cap the growth of property taxes to prevent homeowners from being forced from their homes.
  Protect property owners from a misuse of eminent domain powers.

Government cannot solve all problems, but government by the people and for the people can make a positive difference in the lives of Montanans.

I am relying on citizens like you for your votes, advice, and the financial support of my campaign.
Thank you -- Scott Wheeler
