Campaign themes
2016
Reif's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
| “ | EDUCATION
We need to rebuild the Public Education system in our state. Over $1 Billion dollars have been cut from our state schools over the last 6 years. Instead, the current state administration has chose to fund a voucher program that is costing the taxpayers of our state $191 million per year. These private voucher schools perform at a lower level than their public school peers. Even worse, voucher schools do not have to follow anti-discriminatory laws that allow for these schools to deny admission to students with disabilities. WORKING CLASS We need to invest in our working class. Governor Walker’s Act 10 made it impossible for state employees to collectively bargain for safer working conditions. Our department of state corrections is severely understaffed and our facilities such as Green Bay Correction are dangerously overcrowded. Prison guards are forced into 16-hour days as they work tirelessly to keep our community safe. This attrition on our working class is sickening and devalues the men and women who wish to serve our community. CLEAN WATER We need to restore our city’s clean water. In Northeast Wisconsin, we are facing a public health crisis where thousands in our communities do not have access to safe drinking water. Legislation that was introduced by Senator Dave Hansen and Representative Eric Genrich with the goal of reducing water pollution was called a “political stunt.” With all due respect, I didn’t realize that helping thousands of Wisconsin taxpayers living without access to clean water was a “political stunt.” We need to take action to ensure that the tragedy in Flint, Michigan does not happen here. LOCAL GOVERNMENT We need to govern ourselves. Since 2011, the Walker administration has passed over 100 laws that limit our community’s ability to govern ourselves. Examples of these limitations include restrictions placed on county highway departments from performing public works, restricting how local governments use taxpayer money, and prohibiting any local legislation that would provide sick, family, or medical leave for workers. When did the party of small government become so focused passing ordinances that limit the power of our community?[2] |
