As you are probably aware, Kindergarten through 12th grade schools are closed for the remainder of the school year in most parts of the country and students in many cases are learning remotely from home. Based

on what you know right now, which do you agree with more?

1) Kindergarten through 12th grade schools in your community should make preparations to reopen at the beginning of the next school year so students can return to classrooms with common sense public health

precautions and social distancing guidelines in placeOR,

2) Kindergarten through 12th grade schools in your community should start the next school year with students continuing to learn remotely from home and take more time to assess when it will be safe to return back to

their schools.

All things being equal, which plan would you prefer to restart the economy?

1. To save and create jobs by suspending the payroll tax for workers and businesses through the end of the year to stimulate restaurants to re-hire workers by increasing the business tax

deduction for meals to 100% by protecting businesses from liability lawsuits so they can re-open.

2. Increasing government spending by $3 trillion including almost $1 trillion for state and local governments.

Included in Nancy Pelosi’s $3 trillion Coronavirus relief package in a provision to make dangerous prisoners eligible for release, including rapists, murderers, and even some of the world’s most notorious serial killers, many of whom were sentenced to life in prison like Son of Sam Killer,

David Berkowitz, BTK Strangler, Dennis Rader and The Freeway Killer, Patrick Kearney. The families of at least 172 victims will have to watch justice undone as their loved ones’ killers walk free. Do

you approve or disapprove of the bill knowing it would include this provision?
