Question | Response | Comments/Notes |
---|---|---|
1. Should the state prohibit abortion when it is sought because of a prenatal diagnosis of possible Down syndrome? | Y | |
2. Should marijuana be legalized for recreational use? | U* | I can see Pros and Cons to this, but personally I'm not in favor of legalization. |
3. Should Pennsylvania raise the minimum wage? | U* | There have been studies that show that raising minimum wage will not solve the problem, it will just create a new set of problems. I have no problem with raising it in incremental stages but you can't raise it by $4.00 overnight. |
4. Should parents be eligible for direct grants for their children to attend the school of their choice, including non-public schools? | U* | What would happen if overnight a thousand more Families decided to send their kids to the same school. Until we have 100% elimination of school property tax this would be an impossible task. |
