Platform Resolution:
Dave Larson
Rules Chair/Temporary chair for Platform discussion
The following resolutions were discussed and approved at Saturday's
caucus:
1. Transportation (Richard Butt may have changes to make to this
resolution)
The transportation system in the State of Washington is in a state of
crisis. Fixing this crisis should be one of our state's highest
priorities.
A large part of this crisis is caused by the overall taxing and
spending
policies of the state that the upcoming votes on new state and
regional
taxes will not solve. We call for reform of the entire system by
which
transportation projects are funded and approved. We also call for
reform of
our state's entire taxing and spending policies which make
transportation a
lower priority than other programs.
2. Education
The education of our children is a high priority for this state.
There is a
duty to provide and "ample" education. In order to fulfill this duty
we
propose the following:
1. We support greater local control of education;
2. We support getting back to basics and fundamentals in the
field
of education;
3. We support better oversight and control of education dollars;
4. We support opportunities for parental involvement in
education.
3. Sanctity of human life
By a 14 to 7 margin, the group passed the following resolution:
"We support the sanctity of human life"
