Nolan Karras' answers to the Deseret Morning News questionnaire
1. What is the major issue facing Utah today and how would you deal with it?
We can't solve this issue without recognizing that the biggest problem we face is the state debt. Utah's debt hinders our efforts to prepare the education system for 145,000 students entering the system in the next 10 years. If we want a world-class education system we have to fund it. That is our biggest challenge. As governor, I will require state agencies to prepare a five-year budget. That will force state government to focus on financing our priorities and integrating today's decisions into a long-term budget. I will hold these agencies accountable using outcome-based measures. I will generate revenue through wise natural-resource development. I will develop our economy, emphasizing organic growth or developing Utah businesses. Addressing state debt and applying sound management principles to state government will also assist us in improving our education system.
I'm a goal-oriented problem solver, with a track record of success.
Utah faces serious problems including education, economic development and distributing limited water resources to name a few.
With my experience in public service and as a CEO, CFO and CPA, I'm uniquely qualified to solve the problems we face.
3. Should you win this office, are you willing to self-limit your time in office? If yes, how long would you serve in this office?
I will serve two terms. I believe a governor should get in and serve and then get out. I will work hard for Utah and hope to accomplish what I set out to do in eight years.
4. Do you believe changes are necessary in the state's child welfare system to ensure it does not violate parents' rights? If the system is out-of-balance and needs some changes, what specifically do you recommend?
