We don't take care of our teachers and our cops and our firemen. They should be at the top of our list.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We should be firing bad teachers.
I firmly believe that we can protect taxpayer dollars, bus drivers' jobs, and the safety of our students. We just need a mayor who actually cares about all three.
Especially in local elections, because hardly anybody pays attention to those - but it's really important who's mayor and who's on the city council, county commissioners, sheriffs, district attorney, and of course the school board.
No one is more important to the future of our state than our teachers.
Our teachers are valuable, and our public policy should reflect that.
I am responsible for managing more schoolteachers' and firemen's money than anybody in the world. That's an enormous responsibility.
I think there are several departments we could completely get rid of, and we wouldn't miss it.
Our officers are on the front lines - the first to show up on the scene of a crime. They should be respected; not ridiculed. They and their families protected; not put at risk.
We owe our law enforcement officers the highest respect.
Police officers, firefighters, EMTs - they are all out there every single day - literally just a phone call away for anyone who needs them.
