TO WHAT EXTENT SHOULD THE STATE FINANCE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND FROM WHAT SOURCES?
I am for an amendment to the Constitution to permit horse racing and pari-mutual betting, only if the revenue from this source to the State of Missouri, is earmarked for education, and only if a fair share of all education funds are allocated for non-public schools.
SHOULD THE STATE FINANCE PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS? IF SO TO WHAT EXTENT?
See answer above.
TO WHAT EXTENT SHOULD THE STATE SHARE REVENUES WITH THE CITY?
I would like to see a 60 percent state aid to 40 percent local aid to finance education in the state. The state also should pay the costs of the city’s hospitals or a per capita basis, much as it does for education with average daily attendance. However, I do not believe the state should operate the hospitals. I believe the welfare program of our state needs to be expanded to permit greater benefits — not less than a 20 percent increase NOW and elimination of much of the paperwork which will speed up the processing of claims.
WOULD YOU SUPPORT THE CITY—COUNTY CULTURAL DISTRICT?
Yes.
WHAT TYPE OF LEGISLATION WOULD YOU SUPPORT TO IMPROVE HOUSING IN THE CITY?
Local housing code and state housing codes should be coordinated with stricter code enforcement by the state.
