Principles Or Politics?

What does your elected official or candidate for public office believe? The Show-Me Institute developed a questionnaire to help you evaluate where politicians stand on key issues in education, the economy, health care, and good government practices.

A few questions from the list:

• Should parents have a say in where their child goes to school?

• Would you support making it easier to remove low-performing teachers regardless of experience?

• What do you believe Missouri needs to do to effectively compete with surrounding states?

• Do you favor subjecting regulations to a rigorous cost/benefit analysis and eliminating those that fail to demonstrate a net benefit to the state?

• Do you believe that the focus of any health care reform should put the doctor-patient relationship first?

• Do you support an open, transparent government, one that allows Missourians to easily understand how their money is being spent and who is accountable for such expenditures?
