Unfunded Mandates Keep On Keepin' On
The Brainerd School Board meet earlier this week and talked about a new state mandate requiring those driving school cars and vans carrying students to have the same training, qualifications and certification as those driving a school bus. The state mandate came with no money to pay for classes, training or increased certification cost. And the mandates keep rollin' in.

Dave, If elected one of the biggest leadership issues you will have to face is getting rid of unfunded mandates. I know we will spend money and that I will pay taxes. But I don't like or want the state or Feds to tell my local governments and schools how to spend their/our money. If they state or feds think they have a great idea then send the money, and let our local people spend our local money how we see. Unfunded mandates means less local control or higher local taxes in order to do the items the locals think is right. Be the leader to get unfunded mandates stopped.
