The League of Women Voters of Hamilton County asked questions on the issues of all candidates for this office.
Read the answers from John J. Gilligan

|
- Focus on Children
-
In the discussion of the activities of the Cincinnati Public Schools, and of the proposed tax levy for their support, too much time and space are devoted to statistical accounts and Madison Avenue titles for new programs, with too little attention given to the needs and achievements of the students.
- The Importance of Education to the Future of the Region
-
In the rapidly changing, high-tech global economy of the 21st Century the children now in our public schools will be our greatest asset, or our greatest liability.
- Catching Up With the Future
-
Our whole world has changed dramatically in the past thirty years, the way we live, the way we work, the way we acquire and transmit knowledge, the way we raise our children, and we must realize that a school system designed to meet the challenges of an earlier age will not provide adequately for the needs of our children today.
