On Sunday, January 24, the Arizona Republic began running a multi-part series looking at Arizona 2020, intended to be "a framework for the next decade" for our state. The first set of articles and editorials, which can be found at www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/opinions/arizona2020/visiondex.html, focuses on vision and includes steps forward from leaders in education, industry, and government from around the state.
If you have read my blogs and visited my website at www.electkriekard.com, you will see that there is a great deal of consistency in the ideas I have proposed about priorities for education and business to make our state flourish. For example, the writers believe, as do I, that education is fundamental and foundational and is one of the key factors that attract businesses to Arizona and keep them here.
There are many other factors, of course, and all are intertwined. The best solutions to our state's current challenges will address these multiple factors and balance them to produce optimal results. Unfortunately, the work coming from our legislative leaders at present seems considerably unbalanced from the weight of stand-alone bills and political posturing.
We need real solutions and true leadership to get Arizona moving forward. That is why I am running for the Legislature and I hope you will help me get there by helping turn out the vote this fall.
