Education is always, no matter what the year or era, one of the most important issues. No matter what their family's financial situation, I believe our smartest students should always be able to get into a university. I also believe in education for our young convicts, particularly the ones who will not be in prison for long. My proposed prison reform bill, very much deals with education and opportunities for convicts, when they're released. The
education bill passed in the Northeast Region, was a piece of legislation, that I think a nationwide education overhaul, can be modeled after. I voted for the (GET) act, because I believe excellent teachers help raise up excellent students.
