Unbelievable !!!!!!!!!!!!

What was your first thought when you heard that Education funding had been cut by over 320 million dollars? My thoughts were this is the worst thing that could happen to the children of Indiana. My second thought was how can this be justified? The Republican Legislature would have had to weigh every possible option before hurting our children. After all,  education is the key to our children' s success. Every possible stone had to have been turned over to do this!

Well I was wrong!! Amazingly our State came up with $320 plus million they had misplaced. How could this be possible? Only an inept poorly lead government could lose $320 plus million especially after cutting the same amount in Education funding for our children. Now you would think coincidentally that with such a happening the Republican lead Legislature would have immediately restored these devastating cuts. Wrong again. Apparently our Republican lead leaders don't find our children's education as important as you and I.

So, right when we as taxpayers and voters in Indiana had thought they had heard it all, our Republican Government found another $200 plus million laying around. Of course,  this was owed to different counties and will be released  to them. So, in total, our inept, poorly managed Republican government misplaced over 500 million dollars. Another way to say that is they misplaced a half  Billion dollars!! While our public education and children suffered. I can only describe this as ...what word am I looking for... oh yeah UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Please elect Brad Thompson to look out for the best interest of our children. Brandt Hershman has failed them.

Brandt Hershman; Politics that hurt

  Senator Hershman voted for Mitch Daniels across the board budget that cut public education funding by $300 plus million. Increased classroom sizes and lack of teaching tools make it harder for our children to get a quality education. Quality education is fundamental for the success of our children.

Senator Hershman voted for the Right to Work Law driving down wages and benefits for all workers,union and non-union. RTW won't create jobs it hasn't in other states. Indiana was one of the top states in creating jobs before the RTW Law.http://www.badforindiana.org/

Brandt Hershman voted to do away with federal funding of medicaid and medicare. Supposedly,  Indiana taxpayers will take on the burden of providing their citizens with these programs. The Republicans call this State compact.  I call it a disaster for both recipients and taxpayers.
 So,  to summarize Brandt Hershman's voting record it has hurt the children, the elderly, the working middle class, the poor, minorities and practicably all citizens of Indiana.

Can we the citizens of the 7th district survive another Brandt Hershman term?
