State mandates

According to this WRA article (by Jim Moore), binding arbitration is a statewide concern that will probably not be addressed by our new supermajority. However, there may be action taken on another state mandate, the prevailing wage law.

I hope the state doesn't create a whole slew of new mandates this session, such as banning trans fats in restaurants. Although I'm guessing that's already a done deal.

PUBLIC EDUCATION IS AN UNFUNDED MANDATE FROM THE STATE TO THE TOWN. LET"S ELIMINATE IT SINCE IT IS SO BIG. THEN BINDING ARBITRATION WOULDN"T BE SUCH A BIG ISSUE EITHER!!

A WAY TO SOLVE THIS IS TO LET THE PARENTS OF THE CHILDREN EDUCATE THE CHILDREN THEMSELVES AND THEN WE WON'T HAVE THE EDUCATIONAL UNFUNDED MANDATE.
THAT'S IT!
ITS EVERY MAN OR WOMEN FOR THEMSELVES IN BUSHWORLD!

There should be a state mandate that anyone who gets to angry should have to attend anger management classes 5 times a week.

We should cut the BOE budget. We can't afford education. I think that we should have a real reduction is education spending. End this BS now. The classes I went to were large we should let class size increase. Why should we have to pay for this out of control system

We should go even further-let's cut the police out and have everyone just build a fort and protect themselves. Also lets cut the fire dept out and have everyone build a pond in their backyard and if there is a fire pump the water out and put out the fire.
