After some thought, he says he asked himself two philosophical questions about how to solve them: “If not me, then who? If not now, then when?” Lindsay, like Gallegos, holds an advanced degree. After graduating from Brigham Young University he earned a law degree at Washburn University. He lived in Spain for two years, during which time he became fluent in Spanish. In an interview at Lindsay’s business office, the representative discussed some of his concerns. Topping his list was education. He expressed concerns about the raises in tuition in Oregon’s colleges over the last decade. With three daughters, he has concerns about class sizes in public schools becoming bigger. Lindsay noted that in each session, “The education budget is one of the last to get passed.” In that position, he said, the education is used as a horse trading tool. At the bottom of the pile the state’s budget, it means that school superintendents had to guess how to work out their districts’ budget blindfolded. “We underpay teachers, especially new teachers,” Lindsay said. That, in turn, hurts recruiting. He suggests that teachers should get paid for performance rather than seniority. Another of his concerns is the burdens put on new business owners. The friendlier we are to businesses, he said, they more successful they are. Lindsay also has an eye on helping established businesses to expand. “Some companies want to expand, but regulations hold them back,” he said. Companies wanting to expand need industrial sites to build on, he noted, but only 12 plots are available. Of these, “None are shovel ready.” In addition, Lindsay says there’s a lot of red tape and uncertainty about how long it will take to cut through it. He suggests the state should take no more than 120 days to reply to applications. With two candidates with advanced degrees and positive ideas, District 30 should be an interesting race to follow on election night. WWW.ELHISPANICNEWS.COM October 01 • 1
