Personal Pronouns Mr.
Trustworthiness. I can be counted on to keep my word. Accurate and complete information is the first step before making a decision. Input from those affected is part of the information that is necessary.
My first home was a two-family townhouse that I was able to purchase with my wife. The down payment was low and the rental income helped with the payments. Little by little we made improvements and over the years it increased in value. Later when I was established in my line of work, we sold this home and were able to build the home we currently live in. I believe a good education is step one and that is build on quality public schools with manageable classrooms. These schools also need well trained counselors to guide each student as they plan their future
Fair representation is always the goal, but it has always been a process of incremental adjustments. The effectiveness of census data depends on the questions asked. These questions need to be non-partisan to be fair. It is also necessary to accept that the makeup of our population changes over time for many reasons. Therefore “fair representation” can only be looked at as a temporary condition that will require constant monitoring and future adjustments.
I believe this is a question relating to how we derive the electricity that is needed for life as we know it. When different sources of fuels are compared, their total cost should include past, current and future cost. This would include environmental damage along with health concerns over time. Past and current subsidies can unfairly alter this comparison just as expecting the government to pay to cleanup past environmental damage.
The first step is to determine the current observed outcome of our students. Next is to identify problem areas. With this information and consultation with professional educators a plan can be developed. Without unlimited resources, a priority list needs to target areas with the most immediate need.
