Talk:Keith P. Sommer

Written like advertisement
The section highlighting some of Keith P. Sommer's votes has some language written like an advertisement. I've divided up my opinion into what I think needs revising and what I think is OK. I've put reasons next to it. I've also eliminated the ref tags in the article for these purposes. They are satisfactory.

In need of revision
 * 2007 - Strengthened our school system by voting to prohibit the State Board of Education or local school boards from giving tax payer support to low quality online forms of Primary and Secondary education. Though this probably strengthened the school system it is not demonstrated how it strengthened the school system other than the article claiming it did
 * 2005 - Upheld our obligations to those who give their lives to public service by voting down a law that would force them to help pay for their own pensions. I've literally seen this on campaign advertisements
 * 2012 - Voted to uphold our First Amendment rights by allowing citizens to record the actions of the police in public areas. I think this is fine if you eliminate "uphold our first amendment rights." If one wishes to include first amendment rights then maybe just say "This vote is consistent with court decision X that says"
 * 2012 - Voted against providing short-cuts that would allow criminals back on our streets. Referring to reduced sentencing legislation, especially one based on "good behavior" as a "short cut for criminals" is a poor characterization of the legislation.

Acceptable/Not in need of change
 * 2003 - Voted to end discrimination in the cost of college by allowing the children of immigrants to pay the same tuition rates as everyone else in their high school graduation classes.
 * 2009 - Voted to impeach the corrupt former Governor Rod Blagojavich.
 * 2009 - Voted against forcing political candidates to claim legal expenses under campaign finance.
 * 2011 - Voted against the expansion of gambling.
 * 2012 - Voted to lessen the environmental impact of plastic bag usage by making manufacturers responsible for recycling of the bags they produce.
