Harold DunnHarold Dunn decided to seek a term in the Michigan House of Representatives in an effort to urge the state to adopt more fiscally prudent policies.
A member of the U.S. Taxpayers Party, Dunn said that he believes that the government is “out of control at just about all levels” and that citizens need representatives who will demand that the government regain equilibrium.
“The Republicans and Democrats have sold the citizens out,” he said.
One of his top concerns, Dunn said, is shrinking government down to a ”reasonable size.”
“When Michigan had all of the high powered manufacturing jobs, the state government increased 10 percent per year and they never shrunk back,” said Dunn.
His second, and related, concern is for the state to make the changes necessary to reduce taxes, starting with scaling back the size of the government and thus reducing operating expenses.
“The people of Michigan don’t need this much government,” said Dunn.
He added that it is not enough for the government to do away with one complex tax on businesses only to replace it with another if they want to encourage businesses to locate in and bring jobs to Michigan. Dunn said that he would like to see Michigan become a ‘right to work’ state to attract businesses and reduce one hurdle for those interested in finding employment. He said he would encourage leaders at the national level to consider the reinstatement of a tariff on imports.
Finally, Dunn said that he has concerns about the health of people in the U.S. and, as representative, would work to eliminate fluoride in the public water supply, calling it a “straight poison.”
Ultimately, Dunn said that he is of the belief that politicians need to do more than just talk about putting the people first; they need to actually do it.
“I have the attitude that the State of Michigan government isn’t important—the people are,” he said.
A retired automotive engineer with a master’s degree in automotive engineering from the Chrysler Institute, Dunn has been a resident of Westland for about 19 years. He is vying for the position of 18th District State Represent-ative against incumbent Richard Le Blanc.
