My position on the AmerenUE second unit: • I support nuclear energy options. • I support the union jobs the second unit would create.

Local school districts are currently funded from three sources: local, state and federal. The federal government funds Missouri schools about 6 to 10% of the local school budget, depending upon the school district. Revenue from local and state sources make up the rest, in varying degrees. Some school districts have more wealth than http://www.donsalcedo.com/2008/07/school-funding.phpnoreply@blogger.com (David A Nolle)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29060500.post-4745661655744693075Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:17:00 +00002008-07-16T11:27:46.416-05:00Call me at 690-3594 if you’d like me to attend your civic group meeting.

I am back in the fray getting my campaign geared up for November 2008! We have an open seat this time around, and many of the issues I talked about in 2006 are still important issues to Missourians today.

For me, it is the conservative Republican agenda which aims to dismantle our public schools, and the attempt to support private schools with public tax dollars.
