Government:
Government and the Private & Public sectors: They are co-dependent. Government has a much bigger responsibility to provide for the well being of both the general public and the private and public sectors . One of the government's most important jobs is to protect the people (all the people) of the state. As a member of the Wisconsin Assembly I will work to the best of my capabilities to assure that we control and improve government and protect the right to success of Wisconsin's individuals and businesses while affording the constitutional protections to all. The cost of private gain should be bore by the group that is gaining. When the gain is public it should be bore fairly by the whole.
Education:
Common Core:
I support the common core initiative. Wisconsin has a good education system and as we look to the future we do need to make it better. Common core was intended to start the process of doing so. But the common core initiative has become a political football. There has been a lot of miss information put out by those that want to control the agenda, and they use fear and miss information to create doubt.
The idea of being able to identify the educational standing was an idea cultivated under Ronald Reagan. Bennet also supported the initiative, as a way of providing a minimum commonality for all Americans to be attuned.
To some basic understandings (commonalities) to all like having read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Most of the School District Administrates in the 27th Assembly District support the common core initiative.
The idea of common core is to establish an outline of educational benchmarks and educational learning points that provide a minimum level of proficiency at age and grade levels. It is an attempt to bring all students to a level of understand that provide the understanding needed to move to the next more challenging goal.
It provide a general guideline that then gives the educators (teachers the framework to create the lessons and materials that will bring the students up to that level).
Currently the GED (General Educational Diploma) has a similar intent. The GED was developed for students that are often dislocated during their schooling years. It provides a curriculum that they can work on in any school district so that they can progress through the grade levels without being place at the wrong grade level and wasting time, or failing because they were placed ahead of their level.
Minimum age/truancy
I would like to lower the minimum age at which a student could leave school, seeking employment and job training.
I would like to see social assistance programs tied to attendance in educational programs, and children's attendance in school

Act 10: Upheld by the courts.
I do support the necessity of passing Act 10, School boards, parents, and educators need to take the system back, and make it work for the students: but I despise the way in which it played out.
There is no need to bash teachers or the public educational system or the hard working public employees. Government employees of all types have enjoyed the benefits of a good economy, and a hard working private sector for some 30 years. Unions over the history of America have played a vital roll in the development of many good regulatory and statutory rules. But times have changed and the time has come where the failures of the faltering economy has to be shared.
I feel it was handled in the worst political posturing possible, on both sides, by all groups. I feel that we need to address the issues behind the Act 10 movement:
Supporting thoughts:
1) a combination of the imbalance of power, the continuing shift of power from the many to the very few, and if you are reading this you are not the very few.
2)The iron rule of oligarchy, is at play.
3)The ineffective nature of governing bodies to know as much as those special interests they work with. The inability of the average individual to have the knowledge, power, organization to impact the special interest or the governing body.
4)Also the inverse proportionality of the CPI
5)The transfer of wealth from the working lower and middle class to those on either side of this 70-ish %
6)We have been poor stewards of the public's money.
7)As have been many of our nations corporations and banks. (the results are the same, stakeholders loss money, wages are cut, jobs are lost, the public is left holding the bag, and many of those responsible walk away unscathed or rewarded.)
Highway 23: Let's get it done!
I talked to the transportation department and it is scheduled to start next year.
Individual rights:
Your life, your liberty, your pursuit of happiness, up until the point they interfere with my life, my liberty, and my pursuit of happiness.
When someone else wants to dictate what you should do or be, it is because they are not confident in themselves.
Open enrollment:
I support.
School Vouchers:
No Expansion at this time. Need to establish and define , access to all students, accountability, the establishment clause and public funding.
Taxes: The whole idea of taxes should be that they are fair, and used to pay for needed services that provide for the public good. Taxes/fees/license/etc. should be tied to activities and programs that promote the general welfare, safety, and growth of the community (Wisconsin). We have to change the way we unfairly tax, and provide supports that often benefit only a few, often increasing the cost of the very thing we are supporting by reducing or restricting the open market. Taxes should be employed to cover the adverse effects or unintended side effects to the community.
Minimum Wage: We have to find a way to reward work. If you believe that work is part of the fabric of the free enterprise system, the way to a rewarding and better life, a way to develop self worth, and develop and create the skills to a better life of the person and hopefully to the next generation, we have to work with the government and the private sector to create a system that rewards work more than welfare and as much as passive enrichment. We have to change support payments to individuals and businesses that are not tied directly to a measurable and positive social benefit.
Please help me to understand, inflation has increased pricing on almost everything in the economy by approximately. 2% a year. Wages generally account for 50 to 75 % of all products, or services. Inflation is based on how much more something cost because of increases in wages and materials. So if all products have increase by inflation, why haven't those minimum wage workers enjoyed the same increase. With corporate profit at all time highs, is it on the backs of the lowest wage workers?
Special interest groups and lobbies
T,he power, money and influence that these groups can avail themselves to, will always hold sway over politicians that plan on a career in politics, and term limits are one way to temper their influence.
