I love Thundercloud Subs, but am disappointed by their use of polystyrene cups. Plastic pollution is a growing problem, responsible for country-sized swirling gyres of plastic waste in our oceans and growing landfills in our country’s interior. This pollution is damaging our ecosystems and endangering public health. This pollution is damaging our ecosystems and endangering public health. Polystyrene foam, commonly referred to as Styrofoam, is among the worst forms of plastic pollution. Like all plastics, it does not biodegrade but breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces, which means every bit of polystyrene ever made is still out there.

We understand the first amendment and respect one's right to express their opinion. With that stated, recently an absurd number of negative signage has littered the landscape of our town (mini billboards). It is our hope that a city ordinance limiting the size and scope of signage can be put in place to prevent this from getting out of control in the future.

Tampons are a female necessity, not a luxury. For example, when you buy a bag of chips you don't get taxed on it, but when buying female necessities taxes are included. These taxes on female necessities should be stopped.

We are all affected by continuing to support fossil fuels. Oakland has a right to not have coal transported through our city.

As a student progressive activist, allowing for strong minded students and young people’s voices to be heard and listened to, is an extremely important issue to me. I think that student political activism and engagement is integral to our democracy, and the best way to activate the students is to activate their rights to vote!

Our public sector workers are among the most dedicated in the nation, but they are among the worst paid in the nation. South Carolinians deserve the best, so we support raising their salaries to at least the national average for their positions.

We cannot believe any truthfully informed Governing Board would take such an action for the following reasons: 1. Since Ricardo Garcia took over the coaching position the record of our school wrestling program has improved exponentially. Three years ago, the team had one win with 5 losses in league and was 36th in the Central Coast Section Championships. The last two years the team has finished with 5 wins and one loss in league. In the CCS, the team has finished top 7 in the section. 2. Mr. Garcia has shown organizational skills unmatched by others. For example, he has created a club that sends our young wrestlers to other countries for cultural exchanges programs. In 2016, the LG Wrestling Club visited Santiago, Cuba. In 2017, the club traveled to Guadalajara, México. This summer 2018, the club will be traveling to the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador. Over the last three years, over 50 LG Wrestling Club members have traveled abroad on exchange teams through these programs. 3. He has created procedures and safeguards for our wrestlers that are unmatched by other schools. He organized a binder with safety data sheets that provide vital information with all the chemicals that are used in the wrestling room. In addition, he prepared a sanitation log that required staff members to sign and document each time the room was used and properly cleaned for the next group of wrestlers. 4. He has the respect of all the wrestling coaches in our district. The coaches at Wilcox, Fremont, Milpitas, Gunn, to name a few. 5. He has national and international wrestling experience at the highest levels that give our students the best chance for success. He was a Junior College All American Wrestler, competed in the 1994 NCAA Div. I Wrestling Finals, represented México in the 1990 World Championships, finished 4th in the Pan American Championships nearly qualifying for the 2000 Olympics. Over the last ten years, he has traveled with over 250wrestlers to the following countries: México, Spain, Perú, Japan, Cuba, and Ecuador. 6. We believe that Mr. Perrotti has removed Mr. Garcia to bring in another wrestling coach from outside the district because a few rich people want the coach of their choice. That is Greg Varella the former coach at Gilroy High School. 7. While our culture worships money, we believe that allowing this to happen sends the wrong message to our students regarding honor, hard work and integrity. 8. We are outraged that this had been done in secret and behind closed doors. Coach Garcia deserves better.

The Red for Ed movement is threatening another walk out on our children. We do not support this! Using the children as pawns in this agenda is crossing the line and we support other methods that don't directly hurt the children's education.

Childhood Obesity Is An American Epidemic. More than 14 million U.S. children are obese ; meaning one out of every Five children.

Colorado should be leading the pack, working towards stopping environmental degradation. Banning plastic bags is a good start. The United States uses about 12 million barrels of oil in plastic bags each year. This endangers our fragile climate and our national security. These bags ultimately wind up as wasted space in our landfills at best, and as pollution in our wildlands at worst -- choking Rocky Mountain wildlife, clogging the Arkansas and Colorado Rivers, and filling up the Pacific garbage patch. I voted for the ban on plastic bags in California when I lived there. As a proud Colorado resident, I believe it is time for Colorado to also do the responsible thing! To do what the scientific evidence deems necessary. Ban plastic bags! Stop the unwarranted use of fossil petroleum. Protect our environment! Keep Colorado Beautiful and help keep more plastic from going into our oceans... Semper Fi Isaac”IKE”McCorkle Combat Wounded USMC RETIRED
