Local Government Academy-plank

* After being elected, enrollment within the programs sponsored by the Local Government Academy is promised.
* I want to see more candidates, just as Ross Schriftman is doing in 2006, stumping on the idea of continual education after being elected to office.
* I want to be sure that citizens and candidates who may one day want to run for office, or help others run for office too, are able to take these classes. We don't want to educate an elite group of legislative folks and their aids, and not the other citizens. They have plenty of perks as it is already. The perk of access to education should not be to the exclusion of others. 
* I want to see many of these educational offerings put onto state-cable so that they can be made available to others who might not be able to take time off of work to take a class. The teacher can speak and the people from around the state can record the presentations or watch them on-demand from the internet week, months or even years later to get this knowledge.
