Voices: Steelman for governor



Treasurer Sarah Steelman could bring a breath of fresh air to our state and its people. She received an economics degree from the University of Missouri. She served as an adjunct economics professor at Lincoln University and as an economist for the Missouri Department of Revenue. She speaks clearly and understands how to unify people in reaching goals.

I have worked since 1998 to get a technology park to Southwest Missouri. We have spent millions on the second industrial park in Springfield, and we could rename it and change the concept. Indiana passed a state law allowing any city to apply for approval for a certified technology park. Please see www.technologypark2006.org. Having a governor who has worked in and understands economics, could benefit every person in the state. She knows we are in competition with every country especially China, India, and others including our own states for the creation of jobs and companies of the future.
