Issue Questionnaire Jane Fleming Kleeb Name ______________________________

Jane Kleeb January 12, 2012 12:55 PM There are some areas of taxes that can be lowered and some that ca be raised. Investing in education is always an excellent return for our state and communities. I don't believe millionaires need tax cuts, esp on the back of family farms and our schools. We need good schools for our kids and we need good government for our families. If we put ourselves in boxes of checklists, we miss out on the very critical part of our democracy and government which is discussing in the open these critical issues and nding middle ground. Jane Kleeb January 12, 2012 12:53 PM I do not support raising taxes on the middle class. I do support taxing industries that currently do not pay taxes. I believe creating efficiencies in government and eliminating wasteful spending is always the best way to x budgetary issues.
