Jackson right choice

From Flo Smith, Wolverine Lake:

Hello, voters in the 39th (state House of Representatives) District: Commerce Township, Wixom, Wolverine Lake and the western half of West Bloomfield Township.

We are fortunate to have Pam Jackson as our candidate for the Michigan House of Representatives. She has lived in the lakes area all her life and is firmly committed to building a robust economy and improving the quality of life for Michigan citizens.

Pam teaches math, construction management and concrete construction management at OCC, and has owned a construction company. She is determined to strengthen public education by increasing funding for K-12 schools and ensuring that affordable post-secondary training, or college, is available for Michigan students.

Diversifying the state’s economy by attracting alternative energy research, development, and manufacturing to our state is a top priority. Pam would also put an end to tax breaks for companies that outsource jobs, leaving Michigan workers unemployed.

Pam is vehemently opposed to wasteful government spending and recommends auditing government programs and eliminating those that are ineffective and unnecessary. The current Legislature passed laws taxing pensions and ending property tax credits. Pam will fight to repeal these unjust laws.

Pam is passionate about preserving our irreplaceable natural environment and protecting our lakes, rivers and groundwater from industrial pollution. Energetic, creative, a person of unquestioned integrity, fiscally conservative, and knowledgeable about state government issues — what more could you want in a candidate?

This: Pam has a unique ability to list when people talk. She is adept at finding common ground for agreement. This skill will be a valuable tool for building a more effective legislative process in Lansing. Vote for Pam Jackson on Nov. 6!
