For this assignment you have the opportunity to select one specific state policy topic. You can select a topic under one of the following categories: Education, Healthcare, Environmental Policy, Tax Policy, Housing, Safety/Security, or contact me for approval for a different umbrella. It needs to be a specific issue under one of those umbrellas. (For example: you can discuss education funding under education, Medicaid expansion under healthcare, gun safety under safety/security) Pick an area and then get really specific on your topic. You will be writing a sort of policy brief on one of these issues. Be sure to be as specific as possible and provide as much detail as you can. Have fun with this and make it something interesting!
