We must invest more in our teachers/police officers/special education instructors. Each profession should make at least $70,000 per year starting salary plus a three to five percentage more raise to cover living expenses if they decide to live in the city/county they protect and serve for the citizens. Also, we must invest more In trade school education. Every student is not going to college and must give those who choose not to follow their passion to succeed in life.
