Description

Where we are today: high unemployment, an economy in decline, poor K-12 education with a low graduation rate, an overburdened transportation system, a narrowly focused economy, an unrecognized university system, and mounting health care concerns. Where we need to be: a stable, diversified economy, a competitive K12 education system, a research oriented university system, local access to quality medical care, high quality of life, an integrated transportation system, and a competitive business cost structure.
