OAKLAND COUNTY'S PREMIER

DIVORCE

Q: Creationism — Should "intelligent design"/creationism be part
of the science curriculum in public schools?
A: My belief in God has guided me my entire life, and I am reminded of
Ronald Reagan's analogy, "Sometimes when I'm faced with an atheist, I am
tempted to invite him to the greatest gourmet dinner that one could ever
serve, and when we have finished eating that magnificent dinner, to ask him
if he believes there's a cook!' But I also understand we are a state of diverse
beliefs, ideas and cultures. Our education system must also be respectful.

Q: Welfare — What would you do to maintain a solid "safety net"
for those most affected by Michigan's economic downturn?
A: You maintain a solid safety net in Michigan by creating and promoting
an environment that rewards and encourages job creation and growth. It is
imperative to grow our tax base not by raising taxes but by growing the num-
ber of individuals capable of paying taxes because they have a good paying
job.

Q: Jobs/Economy — What would you do to get people jobs that
can support a family, and how long will it take?
A: We cannot fool ourselves by thinking our problems will be solved overnight.
What we can be assured of is Michigan will have strong advocate for lowering
the tax burden and bureaucratic red tape on job providers in this state under a
Bouchard administration. We must get state government out of the way so job
providers can get Michigan back to work.

Q: Prison Propaganda — What can be done to monitor and filter
materials coming into our prison system so it doesn't become a
recruiting ground for Islamic extremists and domestic terror?
A: We can't turn a blind eye to the troubling public safety concerns we face
in Michigan. The people in prison are there to protect society. We must do
everything in our power to ensure no illegal activity occurs in our prisons. In
Oakland County, we screen every item that is shipped to or from the jail. We
scrutinize all items to ensure contraband is not allowed in my jail. At the end
of the day, it comes down to prisons and jails being run efficiently and held to
the highest standards.

Q: Nonprofit Support — With shrinking state funding for social
services, how must the state support and facilitate the efforts of
nonprofits that are picking up the slack?
A: Nonprofits play a vital role in providing social services to Michigan's less
fortunate residents. As a state, Michigan should provide resources where pos-
sible to aid in the promotion and dissemination of their services. The state
should also make it as easy as possible to allow nonprofits to safely provide
their services.
