1. What does California need to do to address the current budget crisis?

Answer from Mike Robinson:

Reprioritize government spending and cut the waste out of government.

California does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem.

2. What should the state's priorities be for K-12 education? For the Community College System?

Answer from Mike Robinson:

We need to get more dollars into the classrooms were it is most needed, instead of having the funding tied up in educational beau racy.

3. What measures would you support to address California's water needs?

Answer from Mike Robinson:

Along with public safety and fiscal responsibility, providing the necesssary infrastructure to support our growing population must be job number one of government. Infrastructure includes building and maintaining roads, university system, electricity and water ways.

If decisive action is not taken immediately, California will face a water crisis much like the electricty crisis of 2002.

4. What should the Legislature be doing to address the needs of Californians without health insurance?
