| Most important issue: | I am most concerned that our children learn to read, write and do math. I am tired of all the excuses for why children in my neighborhood can barely read. We need change. I do not believe more money is the answer. I support a "NO" vote on the $60 million dollar levy referendum. I plan to bring creative alternatives to fix our failing school system. By giving parents more quality choices with charter schools, home schools, contract schools and universal tax credits, I see great hope for our children in Minneapolis! | |
