Let's take a spin off those words, and compare the equal sharing of ignorance, lack of education, void of job skills and the current state of opportunity for young people and working age people in Arizona and consider what can be done.
It doesn't have to be that way! We can change things and bring jobs, opportunity and brighter futures for everyone by determined effort to change course and set a new direction for everyone by making the November General Election a referendum on candidates holding positive attitudes and sincere principles in public education for all.
Candidates for public office must be masters of words, they are coached and practice sure-fire buzz phases designed to win favorable impressions from voters. "School choice", and similar statements of support for educational opportunity are easy to express, but what is the real meaning of their words?
Education vouchers, privately owned charter schools sucking up public funds under the guise of being public schools need close review as alternatives to "district schools" which are operated by locally elected boards of education. Open meetings with time and place for public participation leading to real give and take on local school decisions.
What is the real public input into these for profit education facilities called Charter Schools? Do they really have "open enrollments"? Do they offer special educational opportunities for handicap and students with special needs or disabilities? The Charter Schools seek equal public funding, trust us finances with no public recourse on how or where the money is spent.

Starting with the "troubled" Pima Community College do we have candidates seeking election prepared to turn the direction around and bring quality back and solve the issue of accreditation?
Worth investigation seeking election to an open position on the board is Mark Hanna. Is he for real or just a good song and dance candidate? Sounds worth a second look. Quoting from public material:
The best way to ensure a prosperous future for Tucson is through education. For 40 years the Pima Community College has been providing this education to our youth who are the leaders of tomorrow. By voting for Mark Hanna, you are helping to ensure that the Pima Community College continues as a leader in education for the next 40 years and beyond.
Pima Community College has such an important roll as a first stop for education after high school we need to elect new leadership committed to providing the community a learning center with skill building programs to ensure employment quality graduates.
The success of Pima Community College is paramount as a resource for education in our community, we must not put it on a back burner to just do the best it can. Top priority to its governance and public support and financing needs our full attention.
This November election are we watch dogs of the candidates from both parties and their proven records of support for education.
The candidates know the words, but what are their records? Not the campaign blowing smoke, "protect the border", "bring jobs", "save the environment", "cut taxes", "balance the budget stuff" but the real issues like money for education, replacing lost gas tax revenue for transportation.

We need to hear where the candidates plan on getting funds for transportation projects, maintaining our streets and highway. Where are local governments are to find money for the programs mandated by the state for their operations?
Do we have a sluggish job market, stagnant wages, lazy people looking for welfare subsidies? Across the country the employment picture has shown some improvement, more people are finding jobs but problems still exist. Arizona is no exception, but reaching out and ready to lead is a fresh change in the climate of politics old school.
Arizona has a very unique opportunity to elect a real in your face a savvy educator that is making his way as a good politician. Without any doubt, with no reservations our chance of an election cycle to put education back on the front burner where it belongs. Show all ninty legislators, the to be elected governor we care about our kids, we care about jobs, we are tired of educating our children to move to other states for decent jobs, we want education improved.
Our vote for one of the most important posts in state government, a leader who not only knows but cares about education, a new Superintendent of Public Instruction with a 4th generation Arizonan who knows the state, ready and prepared to move us ahead, DAVID GARCIA
DAVID GARCIA Experienced with Vision who knows the classroom, our children and someone we all can be proud to follow, for our future education systems and strong public schools.
