01/01/2020	Issue Position: Reinstating Fiscal Responsibility
01/01/2016	Issue Position: This year the Kansas Legislature approved a modest increase in the local option budget (LOB) that allows school districts to raise more tax money locally. Do you believe that local school districts should be allowed to raise additional unlimited local dollars, with voter approval, once the state formula is adequately funded?
01/01/2016	Issue Position: Johnson County has been the economic engine of Kansas, delivering a substantial portion of the state's tax revenue. What are the most effective steps the state could take to make sure that Johnson County continues its track record of economic productivity?
01/01/2016	Issue Position: Shawnee Mission School District has closed buildings, reduced the teaching staff, and increased the guidelines for class sizes in the last few years trying to manage a loss in state revenue. Do you believe that voters in each district should be able to raise unlimited funds locally beyond what the state provides -- or returns -- to the districts?
01/01/2016	Issue Position: Following the tax cuts of the 2012 session of the Legislature, Kansas has faced increasingly difficult budget situations - and the issue is being compounded by the fact that actual state revenues are millions of dollars below what was projected when the cuts were made. Providing that revenues do not bounce back very soon, what solutions would you support moving forward?
