Social Services Care for our senior citizens, disabled, homeless, and veterans by determining the programs that are currently successful and those necessary to meet future needs. We must support all with affordable housing, energy needs, and affordable health care. Education Maintain current state funding to assure quality education for all children and hold education leaders accountable while preparing our students to become responsible citizens with mastered life skills and the proper knowledge necessary to join the work environment. Develop strategies to help students complete basic instruction that may have been lost during the pandemic. Help students define their goals toward either a four-year college curriculum or vocational training, with appropriate high school credits applied toward necessary college requirements. Economy Reinstate "Maine Open for Business." We must analyze the rules, regulations, and tax consequences that affect free enterprise, determine those that are antiquated, and identify any that offer greater expansion of our small and large business environment. Government Reform Ensuring our government is affordable, efficient, and effective needs to be a constant check and balance. Hold officials and departments accountable for assigned responsibilities. With the excessive funds that all states have received from the Federal Government in recent years, we must be innovative to maintain current services without overtaxing our cities, towns, and Maine citizens.
