1. What can be done to ensure that California gets its fair share of federal resources?
|
Answer from Peter Sundin Soule:
The 15th Congressional District needs to elect a Republican to Congress. President Bush will be re-elected. The representative from our district will have a much better opportunity to secure our fair share from Washington if that person is a Republican as well.
Answer from Raymond L. Chukwu:
It can be done by creating pro-business climate that can attract federal investment in innovative scientific research and development that will result in product development at the marketplace. Through this process, California can receive major share of federal grants and resources.
