The best minds, not the fattest wallets will come to the table of decision making. 2) Garvey * Lawton will restore the environmental watchdog Public Intervenor and expand its resources. The DNR will once again be independent of the Governor's office. 3) Garvey * Lawton will devote money to local solutions to public safety. More police and more drug prevention make schools and streets safer, not just more prisons. 4) Garvey * Lawton do not believe solutions to all problems rest in Madison. Protection of local groundwater, land use decisions, school spending and testing, are better understood locally than in the state capitol. 5) Garvey * Lawton will not wait to tell the truth about sentencing, public safety, W-2, taxes. 6) Garvey * Lawton will reduce property tax by removing costs of education from this regressive tax. Reduction of class size is the most important reform we can implement. 7) Our sons and daughters must have access to all the education they can absorb and not graduate with staggering debt. The Board of Regents will reflect diverse points of view and thos appointed will be committed to public education. 8) Solicitation of funds from public employees or companies doing business with the state, and acceptance of free trips or gifts by public officials will be banned from day one. 9) Protection of the family farm, not huge corporate hog or chicken farms will be the goal. 10) Term limits for governor will be implemented; a referendum on strict limits on campaign spending will be demanded. Wisconsin will regain our reputation for clean elections, clean government, clean environment.
