I find it naive to think that these professions are lacking of people with college education. To make good money in Manufacturing you need to go to school. To run a successful shop or contracting company you take business classes. This is how far out of touch Eddie Day is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12341882.post-1144432724526569782006-04-07T13:58:00.000-04:002006-04-07T13:58:00.000-04:00I was at this debate to hand out Chuck Pennacchio ...I was at this debate to hand out Chuck Pennacchio literature. I liked Hayward. I couldn't understand how they could talk so much about issues and so little about solutions though.<BR/><BR/>They talked a lot about local crime and drugs but as a State Rep the winner will only be dealing with crime and drugs on a statewide level. Nobody suggested a new or clear idea of how we do that.<BR/><BR/>With the abortion issue Hayward was the only pro-choicer all the rest described themselves as pro-life.<BR/><BR/>On the issue of eminent domain most of the candidates said they oppose eminent domain entirely. Hayward was the only one to make the exception that it should be used only for public projects like highways. He suggested legislative action to correct a recent problem with it.<BR/><BR/>On a side note: Chuck got a warm reception even from a group of more conservative Dems. A few people had heard of him and others asked questions about his views/chances. Of course there was one guy who wanted to tell me and anyone who would listen that since Chuck doesn't have the endorsement I should halt immediately what I'm doing becuase the Democratic party is no place for defending Democratic values.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
