Since the elections are over, I have been thinking about our elected officials. What would I want the newly elected to focus on? So, if I were elected Governor of NC this is what I would do in my first 90 days:
-Conduct budgetary reviews with each state department to investigate where all the spending is allocated. I would “mark” each spending allocation that seems inconsistent with my agenda and give leaders 2 weeks to defend that spending.
-Investigate any public school that is under-performing. I would use End of Course ratings, especially the high schools to single out low performing schools. I would ask the Department of Public Instruction to develop plan to get all NC schools to the upper third of EOC ratings by 2025.
-I would remove any DA or sheriff that is not enforcing US. and NC laws. And I would remove from office any judge that allows hardened criminals back on the street.
-I would develop and execute a plan to rid NC of any criminal gang activity. The plan would include a state funded task force to find and incarcerate gang members. If non-citizens, they would be held of deportation.
-I would announce that peaceful protests are within the rights of NC residents, but any protestors that damage personal and government property will be arrested. Same with protestors that threaten people or cause them harm.
-Police would receive my full support. And I would award medals of valor for police courage.
-I would review the State’s plan for all types of major emergencies, especially hurricanes, and acts of terror. The national guard would be placed on notice that I would not hesitate to activate that service.
-Contractors and business partners of the State would be expected to meet contractual obligations. Contracts would not be awarded based on skin color or gender. Businesses within the state of NC would receive extra consideration.
-Teachers would get my help. Pay, benefits, working conditions, classroom disruption would be investigated and dramatical improved.
-Mental illness is a disease and would be addressed through funding and I would expect to see innovative solutions, and results!
-I would visit every military base in NC during my first year.
lastly, businesses would be supported in all ways. Tax incentives, college training, technical schools, land grants in rural areas, and especially the power grid. Businesses are attracted to locations with excellent State services, roads, housing, education, and a favorable business climate. I would require the Dept. of State and the State Chamber of Commerce to award top businesses with state grants to be used to grow their businesses.
