The first article I read was titled Mitchell Announces her Education Platform. In the article, it said that she would like to grants to high school seniors, which I think is a lovely idea, considering the fact that I'm a high school senior and a grant would be awesome to have. She also wants to tackle the issue of school drop outs, though I believe that will be a difficult thing to change. I don't think new school programs can change minds of possible drop outs, school needs to become more interesting and kids need to get more motivated. One is probably thinking, how is she going to get the money? Mitchell says to change the "...state renegotiate its contract for liquor distribution..." to be perfectly honest, I'm not quite sure what this means, but it could be changing the price of alcohol or the age its legal to purchase it.
The second article I read was titled Libby Mitchell A History Making Choice for Governor. The article basically talked about the successes Mitchell has felt and her past in politics, being the first woman Senate President and House Speaker. It also talked vaguely about her goals: to improve education, health care, the environment and the economy. The article was basically a love letter as why she should be governor.
