Keith Richman on Education
"Dr. Richman will work to restore our education system, kindergarten to the
university level, to a system that is a national model ... He will urge adoption
of a State Master Plan for education with a well-defined curriculum and stress back
to basics. He supports annual testing of students, eliminating social promotion and
insisting on accountability for those charged with the education of our students.
He strongly supports local control of our schools and active involvement of parents
in their children's education. He believes that every child needs to be able to write,
read and speak English well so that they can compete in the ever-increasing global
economy."
Keith Richman on the Environment
"Dr. Richman believes that quality of life issues are very important. Clean
air and water, and adequate open space and parks for all of us to enjoy are an absolute
necessity if California is going to continue to be a place where people want to live
and work. Quality of life issues are not simply an amenity but are essential to attracting
business and maintaining a healthy and robust economy."
Keith Richman on Transportation
"Dr. Richman believes that progress in our state is not possible without adequate
investment in our state's infrastructure ... In years past California led the nation
in capital investment in schools, universities, roads and highways ... We now have
a tremendous shortfall in our investment for the future ... and we need to correct
this. Dr. Richman will work for investment in our schools, universities, roads, highways,
airports and ports. He is committed to making sure that our state's transportation
systems are able to move people and goods efficiently, and he believes that we are
to maintain our economic leadership into the future we must invest in our state's
infrastructure."
