Issues "I will be a tireless advocate for education funding and affordable health care and will work for a tax system that rewards businesses for providing jobs with decent wages and benefits." Nicole's BLOG: Notes From The Floor - 2008 Legislative Session Clippings from the 2007 Idaho Legislative Session Nicole's Report on the 2007 Legislative Session Nicole's Report on the 2006 Legislative Session Clippings from the 2006 Idaho Legislative Session Nicole's Report on the 2005 Legislative Session Nicole's 2005 Human Rights Report EDUCATION A long-time teacher, I will work to restore funding to Idaho schools to reduce class sizes and allow more time for teachers to work one on one with students to assess needs and insure each student is achieving at his or her highest level. I will work to lower fees and increase scholarship programs to keep Idaho’s promise to its young people and its business community by making a college education affordable for every high school graduate.
TAX POLICY AND BUSINESS Having worked for the past four years on Idaho Budget and Tax Policy issues, I will work hard to craft a tax system that enhances our economy by rewarding small businesses and corporations for providing jobs with decent wages, retirement and health care benefits. I will work to expand circuit breaker property tax protections for low income seniors, families and people with disabilities. View tax accountabiltiy legislation I proposed in the 2005 Session. View property tax relief legislation I proposed in the 2006 Session. TRANSPORTATION & ENVIRONMENT As a legislator I will continue to be a strong voice for conservation. I will fight to protect Idaho’s clean air, water and wild lands from the trend toward loosening environmental restrictions and standards for industry and agriculture. To reduce traffic and protect air quality, I will work for legislation that allows voters to choose local option taxes as a way to fund area mass transit, enabling cities like Boise fund greatly expanded routes and schedules to make bus systems more useable. Read my responses to the Voters for Outdoor Idaho candidate survey [pdf]. HEALTH & CONSUMER PROTECTION As your representative, I will continue to work hard to fully fund the Children's Health Insurance Program, to maintain healthcare access for seniors and people with disabilities. I will advocate tirelessly to protect utility consumers from rate hikes and regulatory changes that would increase costs for small businesses and low income customers.
