Statement of Principles


Nevada government keeps getting bigger and BIGGER. We deserve minimum, strictly limited, constitutional government in this State.

Forget all this blather about a $3B "shortfall". The budget for the '12/'13 biennium should be no more than $200M.

Rulffes Up For National Award

Originally posted in a LVRJ Forum

Two of Rulffes' competitors are EQUALLY incompetent. Had CCSD performance dropped even LOWER, Rulffes would be a shoe-in.

Levey's district (Tuscaloosa City) is a joke. Only ~17% of its students exceed her district's unimpressive high school graduation requirements. Though .33/.15 of her 8th graders score "Advanced" on Alabama's state reading/math assessment, national standards (a bad idea) reveal how loaded these state measures can be. Her students score BELOW the national average on SAT-10.

Stevenson's district (Jefferson County, CO) gives Rulffes a run for his money. Less than 10% of kids score "Advanced" on CO's pedestrian math/reading assessments. ~1/2 score poorly.

Morgan's district (Washington County, MD) fares a little better. About 1/3 of the kids rate "advanced" on her state's assessment. No SAT-10 data available.

Public education is a CATASTROPHE and cannot be reformed.
