We’ve posted portions of his issues platform after the jump
Here are selections from his issues platform:
From Scott Withers:
On Employment: “THIS IS MY TOP PRIORITY. I will spend every day soliciting large domestic and foreign corporations to expand/relocate job opportunities into the district, create new jobs or invest in existing companies so they can expand their staffs. My focus will not just be on automotive jobs, but on any and all opportunities including Green Energy, Film/Television, Tourism, Chemical and modern Communications.”
On the Foreclosure Crisis: “I will immediately introduce legislation creating the FHA Urban Renewal Program. This program will provide any public employee (Police officers, Firefighters, Teachers, etc.) to a guaranteed Zero down FHA loan to immediately move into one of the foreclosed homes. The program will also use funds from President Obama’s housing program to pay all closing costs, back taxes, etc. associated with any real estate sale or public auction. This will move people connected to the community into the community they serve, fight crime and increase the local tax base.”
