In progress
Our current governor and legislature are buying our votes with our own money this year in the form of child credits, tax holidays, and phony gun legislation. If they are reelected, we will go back to their austerity measures and ignore environmental problems next year. Our current governor never has an open question and answer session, especially since his embarrassing performance at the presidential debates. I honestly don't think he's the sharpest tool in the shed. That's not to say that the Democrats have all the answers either. I believe that the Democrats and Republicans have good ideas and that I can be a good negotiator between them. It seems like none of them represent us. They only want to represent their own party, which is necessary for backing to get reelected. The process is broken, and everyone knows it, from Wisconsin, all the way to the nation's capital.
Restore and strengthen the DNR. Preserving natural resources for future generations is extremely important. The current state government wants to allow filling in wetlands and visiting the permitting process after the fact. They just failed to pass legislation to prevent The dumping of bilge water into the Great Lakes which has introduced many invasive species into the lakes already. They failed to disconnect the Mississippi River from the Great Lakes, to prevent invasive carp from destroying the Lakes.
Fund our state parks. Parks are not a for-profit commodity and never have them. They're not a break-even or a profitable deal. They are a legacy left to us by our ancestors, and a responsibility for us to leave to future generations. Their benefits for us are innumerable. If they are lost, they are lost forever and cannot be replaced at any cost. They're a benefit for all of us that only a government can provide.
Limit the campaign season to 4 months. How long does it take to get your message across if you have one? This would hopefully take a lot of the money out of the election process.
We're not going to stop shootings by putting better doors on schools. That was a hundred million dollars of lip service. The best way to stop School, and other shootings, is to do our best to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them.
Wisconsin has a great quality of life. We don't need more jobs, we don't need more workers, we don't need more roads. We need to preserve our remaining wild areas and agricultural areas. We need to renew our residential areas. We need new zoning and building laws for the future.
We need to solve the drug epidemic. Providing an unlimited supply of Band-Aids after your arm is chopped off is not the solution. We need to hold CEOs responsible, not just corporations, for the problems that they cause individuals and Families in Wisconsin and Beyond.
