Louisville queries gubernatorial candidates on Education, Retirement...

On the Mark reported the release of questionaire results that Greater Louisville Inc. sent to all of the candidates for governor. GLI says it, "serves as the “voice of business” in advocating policies and investments that contribute to a higher quality of life and level of prosperity for our community and Kentucky."

It's aimed at Louisvillians, but most is of interest statewide. For example:

QUESTION 2
At GLI, we believe that increasing educational attainment of our citizens is critical to the future of the Commonwealth. More education equals more success, higher salaries and better jobs. What will you do to support improving the educational attainment of our citizens – from
kindergarten through higher ed?

QUESTION 7
What will you do to solve the current funding crisis of the state employee and teacher pension systems? In the long term, how will you continue to fund the state employee and teacher health care benefits within the context of the Commonwealth’s overall fiscal health?
