Campaign themes
2011
Albright completed a survey conducted by the Pioneer Press:
| “ | What is the biggest issue and how do you solve it?
School funding. The state must develop a stable source of funding and reduce reliance on property taxes. Short-term, re-establishing the statewide general education levy and increasing local levy equalization will significantly help taxpayers in District 196. Long term, we must tie school funding to the actual cost of educating our students.[4] |
