- Unemployment offices will be replaced with local employment offices offering public sector jobs which are “stored” in job banks in order to take up any slack in private sector employment.
- Local communities will use a process of broad stakeholder input and democratic decisionmaking to fairly implement these programs
- Pay-to-play prohibitions will ensure that campaign contributions or lobbying favors do not impact decision-making.
