As someone entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring a quality education in our public schools, I am please that David LaGrand may be our next representative in the Michigan state Senate. Past policymakers from both sides of the aisle are in agreement we need a post-Prop A restructuring of school funding to guarantee the educational and economic future of our state. This will take leadership able to go beyond simple Band-Aid solutions and partisan clichés.
Watching David LaGrand pioneer successful businesses and find creative solutions to create more efficiency in city government, I know he has what we desperately need in Lansing. This is why I have endorsed him as have the educational leaders that make up Friends of Kent County Schools. Those who want to return Michigan’s public school system to one of the best in our country should please do not return those who have failed us in Lansing; instead, cast a vote for David LaGrand.
