Healthcare in rural America is important. 111 rural counties in our nation have no physicians. We can not allow rural issues concerning healthcare to be neglected. Measures such as the Triple A Rural Health Act must be supported. This is important for promoting and improving rural health care standards.
Transportation is important.
It provides links to jobs, offers businesses a link to customers and enhances movement of commercial and agricultural products. Centreville, for example, has a prime opportunity to attract new industry and the development of better transportation is one of its finest marketing tools. Howard Industries in Laurel depends on transportation for moving its products. And, the development of the air cargo terminals at the Jackson International Airport will have positive ramifications for everyone. Education is essential for rural America.
