What is one part of Vermont’s economy or cost of living that needs greater attention from elected officials?: “Three significant items need immediate attention: - Vermont's healthcare system is completely out of control. As I have said many times on the Senate floor and as a member of the Health/Welfare Committee, the situation is less complicated than some suggest.”
“Yes, as Vice Chairman of the Senate Education Committee, for the past four years I have been closely involved in examining Vermont's nationally most expensive education costs, sharply declining student population, and declining proficiency results. In many parts of the state, high schools only a few miles apart each graduate just a few dozen students.”
“I support an education foundation formula that ensures students across Vermont have equitable access to resources. Education spending currently varies by more than $10,000 per student between the state's highest- and lowest-spending districts - an inequity that harms students, parents, and communities.”

(Campaign Website) “I want young families to build and buy homes here. I want our children to find good jobs here. I want seniors to afford to retire here. I want Vermont's farms, forests, lakes, streams, and wildlife to remain the envy of the nation. And I want government to work for the people — instead of the people working for government.”

“I served as the Governor's lone representative on the School Redistricting Task Force last summer. The group was unable to reach consensus on the map(s) that were required for legislative consideration.”
