Question 1: Many alternatives to the existing education
system have been proposed; including charter schools, vouchers and private
sector involvement. Do you favor any of these approaches, or do you
have specific proposals to strengthen the current system?
One important element to our children's future is the quality of the
education they receive, but also the fiscal security we leave them.
My education proposals will be fully funded within the existing
budget. It's very simple, we need to invest our tax dollars in our
children's future, not in projects like a new professional sports
stadium, the Stillwater Bridge or a new airport that we don't need and
can't afford.
Later this year, I will be releasing a detailed budget that will show
how, as governor, I will redirect funds to the things that matter the
most.
My proposals will not be funded by the surplus, or any other method
that threatens to leave our children with a fiscally bankrupt future.
Thank you very much
Ted Mondale
