The greatest challenges facing the state of Idaho right now are managing growth and improving funding for schools.
As we grow we are faced with difficult choices about land use, transportation, affordable housing, and keeping the Idaho way of life. The State Legislature should be standing with and supporting communities as they find innovative solutions to these tough problems. The State Legislature should be providing support for roads and public transportation, where appropriate.
Currently, our schools are not fully funded by the State of Idaho as required under our state constitution, that is why school districts have to beg voters for levies and bonds. Which we fund with property taxes. I would like to change that.
