10. A1) The Economy - Our district and our state are hurting right

now, people need jobs that pay a living wage in order to

keep their heads above water. Foreclosures are at an all

time high, gas prices are outrageous, and we need some relief

in the worst way.

A2) Education - Our district (27) and our county of Volusia took

the biggest hit of the Education budget cuts and I don't

understand why, we were cut by $45.8 million dollars

resulting in the closing of 7 schools in Volusia County

alone. We lost approximately 220 teachers and there's

probably more cuts to come, we have to address this immediately

that's why I want to represent the people of District 27!

B) The State Legislature should not be dictating Local govern-

ment's taxation and revenue policies, the local people elect

their leaders and they are the ones who should make those

calls as to their local budgets because they know better

than the State as to what their constituent’s needs are.



11. I would support any sensible legislation to sustain Florida's

clean fresh water but I don't think that we should start taking

water from the St. John's River.



12. I'm hoping that amendment 5 does not pass because it would be a

good idea if it didn't have the provision in it to raise our sales

taxes. Once it fails, I would like to introduce it again but

this time without the sales tax increase. It wasn't so long that

the State funded nearly 75% of our Education budget and I think

that it's time for them to do it again.



13. HEALTH CARE is at a crisis level in the State of Florida and in

District 27. The numbers are: 1 in 5 Floridians are uninsured and

over 500,000 children are without health insurance this is pathetic,

we must do something about it ASAP. For one, we need to take

another vote on the Kid-Care legislation and hopefully pass it this

time.
