Here's the six questions the democrats refused to answer. We gave them over a week to respond.
1.) If elected, what type of bills will you write or help write (co-author)?
2.) Last year there was an $18 billion dollar surplus. The democrat controlled Legislature responded by increasing spending by 38% the following year. Was this a good decision? Why?
3.) Do you support lowering taxes to help local residents? If yes, which taxes?
4.) We've visited the half billion dollar Gold line bus rapid transit line station stop in Woodbury multiple times during what would be peak usage. We share the pictures that over and over the ramp is empty except for 5 to 6 cars and empty buses. Ridership appears low. The Northstar commuter rail line is shutting down. Is it time to reconsider the planned expansion of the line further into Woodbury considering its apparent lack of use?
5.) There are now over 20,000 convicted sex offenders living in Minnesota out of incarceration. Over 80% are child predators. Our research of each of the 50 states laws found Minnesota has the weakest laws https://wcwatchdog.
6.) What else should voters know about your platform?
