We all know that our home values have gone down with the current economy. It is not that they are a bad investment, it is that at this moment they are not reflecting the value that we would have hoped that they would.
One way to bring the values back up, is for the demand for housing to increase. The more people that have jobs and need to relocate to an area the more stable and profitable the housing market will become in that area.
Protecting existing jobs and promoting a business friendly environment to create new ones is a top priority of Dan Griffey's.
Dan Griffey believes in sensible solutions for the economy. We all know that a healthy economy in our state depends on a vibrant job market. Washington State has burdensome taxes and regulations that get in the way of job creation, and all too often cause our employers to just hold on when they would rather be expanding. We need to look ahead and make Washington the best place in the World to locate a business for success.
Dan believes that we must foster a competitive economic climate that 
retains and attracts employers. He remains focused on stabilizing our state economy and putting people back to work. This means ensuring businesses stay in Washington, through free market principles and work to preserve every job in the state by supporting policies that help employers and opposing policies that would kill jobs.
When asking Dan how he plans to lead he said,
"Every idea that I will consider should answer one question: will it create private-sector jobs or will it kill them? Everyone wants quality schools, safe communities and to take care of our most vulnerable citizens. A stronger economy is how we pay for these things. I am committed to removing the barriers and complex government red tape thereby making our state attractive to companies all over the world considering locating in Washington.
Washington must be more conducive to job growth and opportunity. The proposals I support will help families prosper and improve our state's economic health. When businesses are doing well, people are working and revenue is generated to pay for public safety, schools and other important services."
Dan Griffey has a few ideas on how to stimulate the economy, and promote job creation:
Business & occupation tax reductions to help our struggling businesses.
Further stimulate job creation by putting a freeze on new rules or regulations imposed by state agencies.
Pass a balanced budget within current revenues without raising taxes. Out-of-control state spending has put taxpayers and small businesses at risk.
Make permanent the Taxpayer Protection Act, requiring a two-thirds vote requirement to raise taxes by passing a constitutional amendment.

Require permits be granted or denied within 90 days. I support removing red tape from state agency permitting. Employers need certainty; foot-dragging at state agencies is unacceptable and costs employers money they could be using to hire employees.
Reign in state regulations by requiring state agencies to determine whether compliance would have a specified economic impact on jobs and taxpayers before adopting a rule.
Replace the Growth Management Act with one that protects property ownership rights.
Ensure all taxes and fees have a clear and explicit basis in law.
