Issues I agree with Gary Fuhr on: 1: That requires Missouri driver's license examinations to only be administered in English. This falls under the category of immigration. 2; That any infectious disease which causes a condition of impaired health resulting in a disability or death of certain fire fighters will be presumed to have been incurred in the line of duty. 3: Require a checklist form to be completed prior to finalizing an adoption which verifies that all documents and procedures have been submitted, followed, and reviewed by the judge. 4: Require $2 from every business registration fee collected by the Secretary of State to be deposited into the Missouri Small Business Development Centers Fund. I think this is important for small businesses to grow.

 * 5 Facts of Missouri:**

Immigration: Today immigration is a big issue in the United States. There are those that think immigrants are positive in the way that they want to come here for a better life from another country. But most see it as a negative problem because the people are coming here illegally. Also, immigrants that come here usually work for longer hours and less pay so they take many jobs of natural born citizens and that is also negative to most people. I personally think that this is negative for the reason that these people are taking jobs away from natural born citizens which to me, is not fair.

Identity Theft; Today, identity theft, both in the real world and on the Internet, is one of the most troubling and potentially devastating crimes in the world. Almost everyone views this as a negative thing and i do too. To me, identity theft is the most dangerous crimes in the world and is getting worse as technology moves on. The more people put their personal information online, the better chance of identity theft because the internet is not always the safest way to keep personal information.

Income Inequality:Most Americans have been willing to accept a considerable amount of economic inequality, in part because they believe theirs is a country in which everyone has a fair chance to climb the ladder of economic success. What worries many observers now is the possibility that the growing gap between rich and poor may be contributing to a decline in economic and social mobility in the United States. Personally, i think that underpaid people deserve more for their hard work. To me, some jobs are very overpaid also, and there are also many jobs that are very underpaid. So i view income inequality as an overall negative thing in the United States.

Link to bill: HB83 Our bill proposes that the government gives major buisinesses ten years to put eco filters on the top of their smoke stacks to reduce pollution. We are proposing it because smoke stacks are one of the major causes of global warming and pollution and if we can take away the harm they cause, we can increase air quality and reduce pollution by a lot. It will work by giving companies ten years to install the filters and if they dont do it within those ten years, they will be fined a quarter of the cost of the filter every year. People should vote for our bill because although it costs a fair amount of money, it is for a very good reason and it will improve our air quality by a lot. 10 Sources:
