GREETINGS FROM LARRY
Dear Friends,
We are just under three weeks from election day. We have been busy getting our message out through numerous forums, debates, neighborhood coffees and events, and television and radio. Since the last newsletter, we have released two position papers: Urban Planning, Transportation, Energy & the Environment ; and Job Creation, Technology, Tourism, & Economic Development . Please review these papers and let us know your thoughts. We always appreciate input from our community.
This week we unveil also our position paper on Education, Life-Long Learning, & Solving the Truancy Crisis . The Mayor’s Office must play a critical role in coordinating and improving this community’s educational resources and approach to life-long learning. Currently, however, the City does not have any personnel within the Mayor’s office to create and direct a comprehensive approach to the City's education efforts. That must change. This City needs accountability for coordinating and directing its educational resources. The residential and business marketplace needs to know that this City has taken responsibility and action for improving education in our community. I will hire a Director of Education & Life-Long Learning to work on this effort. As we improve our schools, we will see increased demand for living and working in Rockford.
The election is just a few weeks away. Things are going very well, especially following the WTVO debate last week, which the WTVO survey following the debate showed us with a decisive victory over our opponent. People are seeing that there are important differences between what the current administration has said it will do and what a Morrissey Administration will actually do!
Thank you for all you have done to help get us here! We still need your financial support and volunteer support to lead us to Victory on April 5. Any additional support you can provide down the stretch is greatly appreciated.
All my best to you and your families,
Larry
