The point is that the 140 pages added on the last day were HIDDEN from public view. They had already failed on another bill the day before. I am glad that that are people watching for this kind of shenanigans. There are a lot of secret government doings that are not in the sunshine.

This expansion of the voucher program is another in a long line of our legislators trying to privitize and end public school as they have been in the past. Public money to private schools is not written in our constitution but it seem to make no difference to our legislators and governor. If they would go about the business to fund education in a fair manner and treat teachers with the respect they deserve the system would improve. I am not a union man and I don’t believe they are the problem. Unions have their place and the system can be great along side a union. What I don’t think our education system is going to survive is the reformer movement that makes a mess of the greatest system in the world.

Um, does anyone else get the feeling that Jeb Bush and his Foundation for Excellence would like most to see public schools closed, boarded up, shut down and have all of the education for children to be handled by the parents at home or in some sort of private schooling with taxpayer funding?
