MacEwen spoke for about twenty minutes at the kick-off event, pinpointing problems and potential solutions within the state. Among the many topics discussed were state budget priorities, identifying and reducing/eliminating wasteful government spending, transportation, commerce, healthcare, reducing taxes and the need for more competition and local control in education. "Government can provide tools to promote a business-friendly climate" he said, "but government doesn't create jobs; business does."
