Question

When we started this lesson, you had just been elected as Maine’s governor.

Take another look at the information here and, in one paragraph, describe one existing Maine state policy that you would or would not support as governor, and why.

Answer 1

As the new governor, I would endorse LePage Policy on Education budget

Step-by-step explanation:

LePage policy for Maine Education despite having a reduction in aid to Public Schools, have a good reason. To improve the quality of public expenditure. The reason is plain and simple, there are not so many students -11% in comparison to the last decade. Part of the LePage policy has to do with efficiency in administration, and some unions naturally disagree. LePage policy ceased funding for superintendents. And maybe the most controversial was the creation of a new tax of 3% on income over $200,000. All that to increase the efficiency of Maine Educational State System expenditure to provide a better quality standard. Even though, it deserves my support as the new Maine Governor.

Answer 2

As governor of Maine, I will support LePage's policy on education. This would create more affordable student-focused education in the state. It is important that all students have access to great educational resources so they have a chance to succeed.
