- Representative
Rowland is a staunch defender of the American taxpayer
and has fought legislation to raise taxes at every
turn.
During her service, Rowland led a
successful grassroots effort to defeat the proposed
state income tax.
As a member of the Joint
Fiscal Review Committee, Representative Rowland has
identified over $6 million in unnecessary spending.
She believes that taxpayers have a right to have a
fiscally responsible state government.
ENERGY - Representative
Rowland believes we must apply a balanced approach that
allows reasonable and intelligent use of our resources
while still maintaining a clean and healthy environment.
But a common sense approach to maintain a clean
environment must reflect the views of those individuals
who are most affected by it, and voices at the local
level should not be drowned out by state regulatory
requirements.
A healthy environment
requires a new approach to landfills; we can no longer
simply bury it and forget about it.
We must
increase and diversify our supply of energy.
IMMIGRATION- Laws
to address the influx of illegal aliens and the legal
and financial burdens that accompany must be addressed
on the federal level as well as the state level.
There are strong laws that the state of Tennessee can
adopt. Representative Rowland supports such
measures that:
Require proof of citizenship to
vote
Require legal documents to get a driver's
license
Require the Tennessee Highway Patrol to
form a division to assist federal officials in detaining
illegals who are breaking our laws
Require
driver's license tests to be taken in English
Require proof of citizenship before receiving certain
public assistance or social service benefits
HEALTHCARE -
Representative Rowland supports access to quality,
affordable healthcare.
