Continue addressing the need for more housing. I would propose rolling back and eliminating many of the building requirements that are costly to developers and add unnecessary cost.
The best thing we could do is pass a school voucher system / school choice and allow the State School fund dollars to follow the child.
Income inequity is driven ONLY by lack of economic opportunities. We need to invest in our natural resource sector jobs. Vertically integrate the natural resource sector in our state and quit shipping raw material out of state for value added processing. Semiconductor facilities are NOT the answer.
