"We have been told for 20 years that if we kept taxes low the economy would diversify. Well 20 years later we are still talking about diversification so clearly having the lowest taxes in the country outside of Alaska is not diversifying our economy. It’s not doing anything good for us and I feel very strongly that we need a different direction. "
