Questions & Answers

1. What does California need to do to address the current budget crisis?

Stop spending money we don't have. Prioritize and do the things government must do. Stop spending on nice social programs. Stop the pork barrel politics of both parties.

2. What should the state's priorities be for K-12 education? For the Community College System?

K-12: Focus funding on the class room not on bloated administration that frequently includes teachers and principals who couldn't do the jobs they were suppose to do but who have been protected and moved up the organization either by the union or the school adminisration.

Community Colleges: Involve local businesses in the local campuses since they reap the rewards of an educated population.
