Tim Ryan for Vermont House 2012

Vermonters need and deserve a change of direction – we need common-sense leadership.

As your State Representative, I will:

Control State spending
Advocate for a friendly business culture
Create job opportunities for young people
Promote the consolidation of education administrative expenses
Work to provide sustainable health care options
Control unfair tax burdens

Did you know…

Vermont has 61 Supervisory Unions in only 14 counties?
Vermont has the 3rd highest student to administrator ratio?
We nned to spend money teaching our kids, not on high paying administrative jobs.

Tim Ryan

Fourth generation Vermonter and life-long resident
Small business owner

I will work for YOU in the Legislature to protect what Vermont stands for.

Vermont is the greatest place in the world to live – let’s protect it from financial failure.

Don’t settle for career politics – vote for A Voice in Montpelier!

“Property taxes are going up; most Vermonters I feel in today’s world are in survival mode... I don’t see the state of Vermont giving any of us any relief.”

If elected, Ryan said he would support policies to better aid small businesses. He added he would seek to contain increases in the state budget and would advocate for “reorganizing” administration of Vermont’s public school system.

“We have 61 supervisory unions in 14 counties in the state,” Ryan said. “ We have three supervisory unions in Addison County. These are the cost-cutting measures that have to happen. We can’t just keep on raising the state budget forever.”

Ryan acknowledged the Legislature will have to take some additional steps in health care reform... “Everyone needs access to affordable health care,” Ryan said.
