I am running for Indiana State Senate District 40 in Bloomington and Monroe County because we can do better by putting "people first"
  • I will insist to keep government out of our bedrooms and doctor's offices, and I will fight discrimination
  • I will seek to defend and further enhance the individual, constitutional and civil rights of everyone regardless of national origin, race, color, religion, disability, sex, familial status or sexual orientation
  • As a former victim of violent crime, I will NEVER seek to have government ban, register or confiscate your family's firearms or infringe on or undermine our successful long-standing protected rights as people
Teachers, Child Care Providers and Public Servants

We need desperately to give these folks a real raise as I discussed in my interview with the Bloomington Chamber of Commerce.

The best way to do this in my opinion is to eliminate state and local Income Tax on their earnings and wages altogether. It is absolutely ridiculous that a teacher, fireman or police officer (who is paid directly by government) must then turn around and give a significant portion of their paycheck back to the same government.

This unnecessary backward circular scheme is degenerative and less than efficient. I say let them keep 100% of what they earn! I will sponsor a bill in the Indiana State Senate to give Teachers, Child Care Providers and Public Servants a major raise year over year by way of elimination of all state and local Income Tax on earnings that are paid by a government entity or state college, or where the earnings are directly associated with the care and/or education of our children.

In addition to teacher pay, I will seek to establish public expense accounts for individual teachers to use to "expense off" items and activities for their classrooms and to cover out-of-pocket expenses directly related to their classes. We all know that too many teachers are spending lots of their own money on classroom supplies and activities, things that should clearly be the responsibility of the state and school districts.
