Ring has been editor of the Post Review since 1985. No matter how many people file for this special election, she says, I ve spent more hours than all of them together at county board, school board and city council and township meetings. In Senate District 18, I know well the complicated issues facing our local governments. One of my personal crusades will be to get rid of the sales tax on purchases by such units of government. This amounts to double taxation as far as I m concerned, Ring emphasizes.
Ring says the issue of a unicameral legislature needs to be studied.
The point is that legislators must carefully study all facets of this issue and of any issue that comes before them, before taking a stance one way or the other. The public, too, must be well educated on this issue before being asked to vote on it. Ring says, I ve traveled extensively in Europe, China and Russia. This knowledge will serve Senate District 18 well. Ring and her husband, Ardell, have been married more than 44 years.
