Harry Brinkley Schiffman speaks to ten key issues that people want to know about. harry Brinkley Schiffman is a Democratic candidate for the north Carolina house of Representatives. First District Harry Schiffman is a man who believes that the people come first. First, before politics and politicians, and before personal gain or fame, he strongly believes that the people of the First District have a right to Know how the candidates think tin the important issues. Here, in words written by Harry Schiffman. are this candidate's beliefs on ten .major issues. r ? r ? EDUCATION. ULJ I believe that the future of America depends on the quality of education for every child in the schools as well as at home. We need to attract and keep good teachers who really Know how to teach. To do this, pay scales must be competitive. We need to be able to give these teachers the tools they need to do the best possible job and let the teachers teach. This means that the legislator must pay close attention to input from active teachers and parents and to the needs for funds for education. TAXES. I don't think the State should look to the people for more taxes before it looks at its programs for necessity and possible waste. A list of priorities should be drawn up based on doing the most good for the most people. If the State wants more programs for which there is no funding, then the State should ask the people if they are willing to pay more taxes to get these programs. BUSINESS ECONOMY. We need to help small businesses by working on the reduction of high insurance costs, and of senseless paperwork and regulations. In addition, in some parts of our District, large tax revenues are being generated but the distribution to local government is not proper. North Carolina needs to invest in roads, airports and railroads if we are to interest industrial development Urban areas with good highways show increasing economic strength. Finally, our growth should not be dictated by people who are not sensitive to our fragile ecological ana economic $ balances. EMPLOYMENT Jobs are going to continue to be scarce and seasonal unless we have teamwork In the first District Tyrrell County had the highest unemployment rate in MC at one time this winter, and unemployment in Dare County did reach 43% In the winter of 1983. Qlven the failure of small farms, environmental problems and so many seasonal Jobs, we must try to attract winter-time and year-round job i opportunities. The stabilization of Oregon Inlet would assist our entice area in providing more winter-time employment The more healthy businesses we have, the better our employment stability and the greater our opportunities for a continued good way of life. j NATURAL RESOURCES. < Fishing, fertile farmland, beautiful waters and beaches and intriguing history are endowments the people of the First District can be proud of. The richest mix of warm- and cold-water finfish in the east is just off Oregon Inlet The inlet needs a stabilized channel for recreational boating as well as commercial fishing. Farmers with beautiful and fertile farmland are suffering from a soft market. We need more local markets and higher market prices for the farmers. We need more district-wide promotion to attract tourists. We need grass-roots plans to protect our abundant sounds and rivers.. The challenge of maintaining the Dismal Swamp Canal should be led by a local person developing the economic benefits and historical significance for this area. naval airspace expansions and Department of Interior restrictions in the First District are a threat to our people, their livelihoods, recreational water activities, and the environment. AGRICULTURE.*?^ Mo one can sell for less than his cost and stay in business for long. Why do we send foreign aid to countries who In turn restrict trade with our farmers and fishermen? Farmers market prices must increase! Regulations developed by the farmers will be better than those coming down from the top. Every business needs good means of transportation. We must complete four lanes for Routes 17 and 168 all the way to Interstate 64 around Norfolk, and for US 64 from Rocky Mount eastward. A regional airport and railroad services are needed. We must obtain secondary road funds and convince State officials that to interest Industrial development, roads mus( . come first. ENVIRONMENT. IT Protection should come from the grass-roots up, rather than from people who do not understand our unique problems. The intent of the Coastal Area Management Act is good, but the lack of common sense in the process is a real threat to the people. In addition, the MC Division of Fisheries needs to understand grass roots input and develop joint solutions to protect and restore our Sound fisheries. We all Know that water, as well as contaminants, runs downhill. Common sense indicates that we should be looking closely at the top of the hill as much as we do at the bottom. MC must unify in a bipartisan effort against the possible disposal of > nuclear waste within our boundaries. LAW ENFORCEMENT. Illegal drugs are rampant today and a real threat to our democracy. The solution to the drug problem lies in our educational system and in the home. In the First District, we apparently intercept less than 2% of the drug traffic. Public apathy must be changed, both on the street and in the courtroom. All levels of government must coordinate and work jointly against illegal drugs. Finally, we must educate our children and their parents to the real dangers of drug use. First hand experience is the best teacher. In the role of town commissioner and as acting mayor of Manteo, I obtained a wealth of working knowledge about local government. As Past President and now Public Relations Director for the MC Marine Association, I have learned much about the permit and regulatory process of CAMA. I have been active for several years with efforts to stabilize Oregon Inlet, presently serve as MC's liaison for the effort and work with the Congressional Delegation on this problem. I have actively worked with the last two administrations on behalf of northeastern Morth Carolina. On May 6, please cast one of your two votes for harry Brinkley Schiffman. Democratic candidate for the Morth Carolina House. A man who believes that the people come first. PAID row BY THE COMMITTEE TO ELECT tMfeKT ? SCMlTOWl TRANSFORMATION ?
