Candidate's Comments:
I mean I understand the concern with #7, but the concern is misplaced. We shouldn't be hiding, we should be out in the open if we truly believe in what we are doing. The powers to be rely on this "silent majority" nonsense. If you lurk in the shadows, you're not willing to stand up and be counted. In any event, I AM ALWAYS going to support open transparency as to anyone funding special interests.

Candidate's Comments:
10 is much like the other question that promotes retreat. What we need to do is reform public education by having an organized force to be vigilant with what it is teaching. Anyhow, what about those that don't have kids? So, they are supposed to not only pay for public education but then also subsidize charter schools, etc? That simply isn't fair. Plus, the vouchers and charter schools have been a disaster in this state.
