Issues
1. What do you see as the major issues and problems facing Wyoming and how can the legislature deal with them in a pro-active manner?
Education - smaller classes, qualified teachers, better school buildings is being addressed
Health Care - need a prescription drug program and need to increase access to health care for children. i.e. SCHIP to 185% of poverty level
Economic development - continue the Business Council and the coordination of the Council with Leads in Laramie County

The legislature has already made giant strides in funding education in Wyoming K-12, community colleges and UW.
5. Who are your heroes and why?
Former Senator Alan Simpson. Willing to take on the tough issues and established organizations in an in depth candid manner. He did this in and open and thought provoking manner but with fairness and good humor.
