As a council member, I was the first to consistently engage with multiple city departments including Public Works, Safety, and more; I have already accessed the additional communities in District 39B to achieve the same level of commitment.
I believe that when we shed personal agendas, government can work cohesively to achieve what is best for the constituency.- I have watched as our representation focuses on personal agendas rather than the voices of the constituency. Taxes and the economy are stompling our working classes into poverty. We are over-taxed to an almost $10 BILLION surplus with an average return to taxpayers of a mere $260. Current representation continues to raise taxes. Biennium projections indicate an additional $10 BILLION increase. $20 BILLION in 2 years is reprehensible and irresponsible!
- Education is given "historic" monies by the state but micromanaged to inefficiency and then forced to overcome state mandates that are either unfunded or underfunded. We have fallen dramatically in national education status: previously 6th in the nation but now are mid-pack!
- Too many bills either create or increase spending by raising taxes and fees that will generate billions of dollars and increase the budget by 40%. Some specific areas include license fees, over-priced energy and "Blackout Bills", child care, gas tax, metro sales tax, payroll taxes, delivery fees , and more. Most do so without regard to the impact of families in our communities. Recent conversations with young homeowners reveal they are feaerful they cannot maintain the mortgage, utiites and healthcare and still have enough for groceries and the gas tank. They see their homeownership as a short-term endeavor but hop against hope it will work out totheir favor.
Providing benefits for 10's of thousands of undocumented immigrants is inequitable. We have tax-paying citizens who cannot qualify for those same benefits because they make $10, $20, or $50 too much!
Allowing undocumented and non-residents to acquire MN driver's licenses that serve as valid IDs for voter registration and look identical to those of qualified and tax-paying residents is a problem!
I consider the data presented on an issue coupled with the voice of the majority when determining a vote.
In all of my voting life, I have never declared a party affiliation nor voted a party ticket. I look at what each candidate brings to the table, considering background, knowledge, experience, and platform.
We were dismissed shortly after the announcement. We heard and saw things in the coming days that we could barely comprehend as we watched history unfold before our eyes.
