Samuelson supports both charter and traditional public schools.

I currently live in Liberty County Georgia in a small town called Allenhurst. Allenhurst is one of the small townships of the county. The largest town is Hinesville which is the location of the Army Base Fort Stewart. Liberty County is categorized as lower middle class, less educated and primarily composed of children and teenagers, college aged residents and young professionals (Liberty County High, n.d.). In the county there are approximately 62,500 people with approximately 23,000 households or families according to the 2015 Census. Of those 23,000 families almost 4000 are living in poverty (Quick Facts Liberty, 2015). A large percentage of the people are military or somehow affiliated so they are not grounded in the area. The reason why I provided the previous facts is because I believe that this is the reason why the citizens in and around this area are not very involved in the local government. In the town that I live in and the next smaller town Walthourville. The town Walthourville is named after the family that originally settled the area and that family still has a lot of control over the area. Another prominent name in the community is the last name Bacon. A host of the members of the population are from this family as well. Most of the political figures are friends and associates of the descendants of the Walthour and Bacon family.
People in this area do not turn out to vote as they should and it is mostly because they feel that their votes do not count or they are uninformed or uninterested. It is sad to say but this is what is happening throughout the nation. People overall think that their vote does not matter and are very uniformed on what is going on. I do not think that this is satisfactory especially considering all of the issues that occur in the area. The area is mostly lower income and Army people who are not very involved in politics. These people are affected the most by political decisions but they are the least concerned.
I always advocate that at the local level is where the most change happens and where it affects the day to day lives of citizens and that is where they should be the most involved. The local politicians are the most affluent and can basically buy their positions so they do not get must push back from people in the community. I for one like to be involved in what is going on in the area that I live in and try to know what is going on. Even I have a hard time finding out what is going on because things are not advertised and information is not readily available to the public. Everyone does not have the internet in order to go to the count and state sites to get election information and there is not much info in the local papers until the day of or after elections. I think that information needs to be posted in the local businesses and public areas where most of the people have visibility. This might improv.

The document is a legislative update from Ruth Samuelson, a representative in the North Carolina legislature. It summarizes issues being addressed this legislative session, including the state budget, education reform, and two local bills Samuelson is sponsoring in Mecklenburg County. One bill would allow the county to add members to its Board of Equalization and Review to help handle an anticipated increase in property tax appeals. The other would make it easier for the county to lease land for renewable energy projects.

The North Carolina House and Senate have passed separate state budget plans and legislative leaders are working on a compromise. The author voted against the House budget because it does not address a potential $480 million shortfall. Two Republican budget amendments the author hopes will survive aim to eliminate unnecessary tests, saving $2 million for classroom supplies, and require full scholarship programs to pay out-of-state tuition rates for non-residents, saving $6 million for career technical education. While not supporting the overall House budget, the author would view these provisions as a minor victory. Other bills on jobs, the environment, and water resources are under consideration before the legislative session ends.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
