Does John Thrasher really listen to the will of the people

John Thrasher recently pulled his legislation to build golf courses on public parks (friends I can’t make this stuff up). He says he listened to the will of the people.

If that’s the case lets tell him we don’t want to slash education budgets while giving tax breaks to millionaires.

Let’s tell him not to pass unfunded mandates to school districts, that we want our education reforms based on things proven to work, not just the latest fad of the month and that we appreciate and respect our teachers. Senate bill 736 (the son of his senate bill six), has billions in unfunded mandates, is not research based (there is no study that says merit pay works) and harms the teaching profession.

Then let’s let him know, we understand he has a pathological hatred of unions especially teachers unions, but politics is supposed to be civil not about crushing your enemies when you get the chance. Tell him to drop his union busting bills

He says we listens to the people well let’s find out. Please contact him and ask him to the right things on all these issues.
