Hi Jay,
I'm really glad to hear that you're running for Governor. I think that you did a fantastic job as Attorney General and really hope that you take the win for the Governor's seat. With that said, I wanted to take this opportunity to write to you and offer some suggestions, which I have posted on my blog at "http://altenergypolitics.blogspot.com/".
The biggest idea that I REALLY think would clean up Missouri, would be to clean up our landfills and create commodities revenues through recycling materials during the cleanup process. According to a study, as quoted on my blog, there is the potential, in Missouri alone, to gather 1.9 million tons of recyclable materials over a year and have a possible value of $208 million. 45% of waste in our landfills is recyclable materials.
Various resources could be utilized to begin the cleanup process, such as Community Service programs (including welfare-to-work), Prison work programs, Volunteers, etc. I also feel that we need to have more recycling centers throughout the state and offer tax breaks to trash services who offer recycling pickup as part of their route, including providing recycle bins to their customers.
I feel that the money earned from this development could provide many benefits, including alternative/renewable energy research and development/deployment, K-12 & college education grants, and other needed programs.
Also, please consider the Pickens Plan.
Thanks for your time and good luck with the campaign. You will be getting my vote!
--Ken
