MEA co-sponsors 2010 Great Debates
MEA is one of 20 co-sponsors from across the political spectrum supporting the Center for Michigan's 2010 Great Debates, a series of public television debates featuring gubernatorial candidates and candidates for dozens of key legislative races. In this critical election year, the Center for Michigan, MEA and many other organizations are committed to frank discussions about our state's challenges that provide voters with the ability to make informed choices come August and November.
The first two debates -- one among the Republican gubernatorial candidates and another about this fall's ballot question about a Constitutional Convention -- are online at http://www.thecenterformichigan.net/blog/the-great-debates/. Also at that site, you can find a comprehensive issue guide put together by the debate sponsors that lays out the various policy positions and priorities for our various organizations, including MEA.
Take the time to watch these debates and it will be clear to you as a public school employee exactly how high the stakes are in this election.
