LANSING, MI—The Great Lakes Education Project (GLEP) debuted a new radio advertisement opposing special interest efforts to recall state Representative Paul Scott (R-Grand Blanc) in Genesee County. The ad, titled “Promises,” has already begun playing on radio stations across Genesee County and will air throughout next Tuesday’s recall election.
“While parents fight to give their children every possible opportunity to receive a quality education, far too often special interest groups and policy makers in Lansing allow adult issues and aged turf battles to stand in the way of better results for our kids,” said Jim Barrett, Chairman of the Great Lakes Education Project. “Now these special interest groups are targeting Paul Scott because he dared to stand up for Michigan students.
“Representative Scott campaigned on balancing the budget in Lansing, fixing the state’s tax system and reforming education and he actually did it. This is the sort of record parents in Genesee County can be proud of. We are urging them to vote no on Tuesday’s recall.”
GLEP works to improve the climate for meaningful education reform in Michigan by supporting candidates committed to action. The organization assists candidates truly concerned about the plight of children denied an equal opportunity to a quality education and who will work to bring educational freedom and choices to all parents.
