Idea of the week
Bring Back Trade Education to Our State - Whatever happened to all those skilled trade programs in the state sponsored through the local high schools? There are some remaining, but we need many more...Everyone in this state should be capable of a college degree or a good, well-paying trade. Let's bring back trade education and make all parents and this state proud.
