The Board of Directors of the Racine Taxpayers Association has taken the following positions on these issues.
2011 AGAINST "climate change legislation" program that mandates 10% of energy produced must be subsidized with "alternate energy" sources.
2011 FOR School Choice. Parents need more say in which schools their children should attend. Poor people have do not have the financial ability to make broad choices. School Choice as proposed by the State of Wisconsin for Racine give those parents that choice.
2011 AGAINST the use of administrators (e.g. Village Administrators) by municipalities. These high level bureaucrats foster government growth, high taxes, and increased regulations.
2010 AGAINST transferring control to SERTA of all transit transit operations for Racine County. SERTA will be controlled by Milwaukee politics that we feel will short shrift the BUS and other Racine County transit efforts.
2006 FOR zero dollar budget increase across all City of Racine departments. City taxpayers need a break and Mayor Becker's budget demands gives them one.
2006 FOR neighborhood schools. Costs less and kids like being closer to home anyway.
