Sheila Solon, R-Blue Springs, is running for the Missouri House of Representatives District 55 seat against Michael Parker. The two are running for a shot at the Republican slot on in the Aug. 3 primary. The winner will face Clay Rodgers, D-Blue Springs, and Jeffrey Hoorfar, L-Blue Springs, in November.
1 What are the three most important issues facing the 55th District, and how do you plan to address them?
Economy, jobs and schools. We need to get people back to work. Government needs to get out of the way so businesses can prosper. We need to insure our children receive a quality education.
2 You’ve been critical in the past regarding tax incentives and how they are used, especially on the local level. What are your thoughts regarding a proposed jobs bill that will help the Missouri Innovation Park in Blue Springs?
I oppose the lack of transparency by the EDC and the questionable spending of 1.2 million on land options and legal fees. I will support projects which bring real jobs and businesses to our community.
3 Are there any specific Blue Springs issues you plan to make Jefferson City aware of?
Eastern Jackson County expects fiscal responsibility, accountability and transparency in government. Government needs to tighten its belt and cut spending just as we the citizens have done. Work towards making Missouri Innovation Park a reality.
4 What three areas should get first priority for added spending when the economy recovers and state, county and local revenues improve?
When we get through this economic downturn, we need to gauge future spending decisions as to true need and not slip back to what got us here. Even in good times we need to continue to live within our means.
