I'm never a fan of lowering academic standards for the sake of "equity" As we've done by eliminating the 3rd grade reading rules. We should keep standards high and have plenty of carrots and sticks to use on parents and educators to make sure they are met across the board.

Government talks about "green energy", solar and wind. What they don't talk about is the largest waste of energy, old buildings. Michigan is full of buildings and houses from the early and mid 20th century with poor insulation and outdated HVAC systems. Money needs to be dumped into grants for modern insulation and HVAC retrofits for everyone who owns one of these aging structures.

Those are my biggest issues with these items.
