ROBERT ACKERMAN
Putting People Ahead of Politics!
In two terms Bob has established a successful record representing you in the Oregon Legislature. For next session, Bob tackles the issues that are important to our community.
SCHOOL FUNDING:
Bob understands that quality education opportunities at all levels are essential
to the future of our community. Bob will work to provide:
- Full funding for our children's schools.
- Tuition and Fee freezes to keep our students from being priced out of our Colleges and Universities.
- Increased investment in Community College workforce development and vocational/technical training programs.
AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE:
Bob knows that seniors and families need real relief from increasing healthcare
costs and skyrocketing insurance premiums. Bob will fight to:
- Allow small businesses to form insurance buying pools to maintain coverage for employees and their families.
- Ensure all Oregon children have full health care coverage.
- Expand the prescription drug purchasing pool to include all Oregonians without prescription drug coverage.
JOBS/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT:
A businessman for over 40 years, Bob knows what it takes to stimulate business
development and family wage jobs. Bob's plan for real economic development
includes:
- Reduce capital gains for Oregon investors who will provide real job growth and direct investments into our community.
- Increase authority of the Oregon Investment Council to invest in local businesses.
- A larger commitment in developing partnerships between our Universities and Oregon businesses to develop new, clean, cutting edge industries.
