The future for Minnesota is only as bright as our future generation. I will always work to put kids first!” Jobs: “Minnesota needs to remain a top place for business! I will work towards continued job creation and economic growth; laws and legislature that advances jobs; continue to support our infrastructure, our quality of life, and continue to educate the largest supply of skilled, qualified work force out there.” Environment: “Environmental stewardship and a healthy planet are the right and responsibility of each citizen, each business, and our government. I will work to protect clean air, clean water, and Minnesota’s natural resources! Our resources are vital to our economy and our health. Lakeville is a city of lakes in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.” Transportation: “The express bus service on I 35 in Lakeville provides workers convenience to get to work, while also addressing air quality.” “Transportation and transit should be well maintained, with a comprehensive budget that plans for Century 21st century demands. As we grow our economy and create jobs, we need a transportation system that works for all Minnesotans, and small business.”[2] |
