So I think historically we've made a strong commitment towards education, which is important for the future, and we need to make sure that we keep that going. A strong education is the foundation of a great state. Right now we are number two in ACT scores in the nation. And that's something we need to keep moving forward with Wisconsin. A big issue in that debate is the future of school choice and vouchers. (04:07–04:11)
