Focus on stimulating economic growth via local aid
I think all of us agree on one thing, which is about the importance of stimulating economic growth here in Massachusetts and how important that is. I will say when I talk about the reasons for restoring local aid it is about investing in the
infrastructure so we can create a platform and small and medium-sized businesses to grow. It's about creating opportunities to provide capital for those small and medium sized businesses, which is where most job growth is going to come from.

Focus on selling Massachusetts
As Governor, working with mayors and other local officials, I will personally engage in attracting new businesses and workers to Massachusetts and encouraging those here to expand.
We will also fund a marketing program to stimulate investment in and relocation to Massachusetts.
