Karen Knox, Office Supervisor for the Health Department "The issue that we see is our little one percent [for dental services] of the Medicaid budget, if TABOR goes through, is going to be even smaller and there are going to be fewer people being treated, there are going to be more people that are living with the pain and more cost for emergency rooms, for hospital stays." |
| Linda Head |
Linda Head, elementary school teacher "When I retire I want to be sure that our children who I am teaching today are going to be well-educated.and they are going to be carrying on for me and for you.So as a society we need to think about, not 'us', not how is this [TABOR] going to affect me, but our future - our children." |
| Warren Pickar |
Warren Pickar, Instructor/Trainer of Agribusiness at Western Wisconsin Technical College "Some of the things.we're already seeing in the last couple of years is a loss of positions and funding already affecting our staff and our students and that does concern me. What I see coming out of TABOR only looks to make the situation worse." |
| Vanessa Pickar |
Vanessa Pickar, Governor of Student Government at Western Wisconsin Technical College "In my economics class I asked for a few minutes to just talk to some students and see how they felt about TABOR.One of the students said he thought 'it would suck if we had TABOR.' I thought that that was something that pretty much sums it up." |
| June Kjome |
June Kjome, Retired RN and midwife, Activist on social justice issues "In spite of the fact that we have wonderful agencies, marvelous faith communities, and individuals in this community, we cannot expect that they're always going to pick up the slack. The government is responsible for many, many of these programs and they are shirking their duty, I think, in passing TABOR." |
| Denise Green |
Denise Green, Full-time foster parent "The children that are coming in have more special needs, more problems.which means that we're going to need more support from our social workers.With TABOR and with the budget crunches, some of those social worker. positions aren't filled, which means . less time for us as foster parents." |
