Economic Development

Michelle Tanner believes economies best thrive when government gets out of the way. Michelle has worked on ordinances to cut government red tape and provide greater opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses. As a small business owner herself, Michelle recognizes that small business is a bedrock of the community. Michelle believes economist Thomas Sowell has it right when he critiques government intervention and emphasizes the importance of individual choice and voluntary exchange in shaping economic outcomes. Michelle advocates for a free-market approach and the importance of protecting the individual from the government- not the government from the people.
