Scott R. Brann (Candidate for State House District 136) Talks to Houston Business Connections: Tells Publisher Aubrey R. Taylor why Harris County voters should choose him in the Nov. 7, 2006, General Election

BRANN: "Texas needs to have the No. 1 public school system in the nation and we can with the right leaders dedicated to our children and to the task of providing our children with the tools they need to be successful. A good education has made all the difference in my life and that is why my first priority is to save our public schools, elementary, middle, high schools and colleges. If we want our children to be self reliant and accept individual responsibility we must equip them with the tools to do so. Education is the key tool necessary for our children to succeed. We must fund our schools not so they can just get along but so they can establish first class physical plants and pay teachers at a professional level that recognizes their professional commitment to mentoring and shaping our future generations.

I will devise legislation to STOP the appraisal creep on homesteads and provide real property tax relief. I will work to roll back soaring homeowners insurance rates and college tuition rates that have increased at alarming rates, in excess of an average of 42 percent since the House Republican Leadership pushed through deregulation legislation.

If we put our children first and political agendas last Texas will lead the nation and the world in developing tomorrow's leaders."

J.W. Stables (Candidate for House District 136) Talks to Houston Business Connections: Tells Publisher Aubrey R. Taylor why Harris County voters should choose him in the Nov. 7, 2006, General Election

STABLES: "As a State Representative, my priorities can be summarized in 3 main points:

I would like to see Smaller Government ­ Making government leaner, eliminating taxes, rolling back and eliminating eminent domain powers, eliminating corporate welfare. The government should do less things and do them well...if it proves it can not do them well it should not do them at all.

I would focus on Energy and Business ­ Utility bills are outrageous. Unlike my opponents in tight with the retail utilities, I would work to overhaul utility regulation that would force public utilities to recalculate their regulated retail rates on a monthly or quarterly instead of an annual basis. Let energy market speculators wear the risk of volatile energy markets, not our families and small business owners.

I would place great emphasis on Education ­ Funding, management of schools and facilities...all need new attention combined with a fresh market approach, something beyond just vouchers. I would form a commission that would research a way forward to ultimately privatize the vast majority of schools, particularly in urban areas, within 10 years."
