Of course it might pass, our legislature (and therefore our citizens) are anti-education. It has gone to def-con 4 here....

I would say not only might it pass. I think it's likely to pass.

I don't think it has a snowballs chance, but you never know. The authors of the bill are the biggest right wing nuts on the planet. We tried to get one of them defeated last election and thought we had a good shot, but no luck. I am an optimist, but I think common sense candidates actually have a chance in November. Enough of these whack jobs

Jolley needs to be strung up by his sack. He does for sure. And there are many others that should be with him. |

I doubt he's ever had an original idea since he's been in office. True. Brian Bingman on this side of the state is the same thing! He's the one pushing consolidation. Four dependent schools in his district are very loudly telling him it's bad. He is pressing on anyway. |

This is a very bad bill. Vote them out..but Dip, how big should the government be? Should they have their hand in effecting every decision you make?

it's getting ridiculous fellers. those clowns that are trying to undermine public education at every single turn have never been in a classroom except as a student. they have no idea about the inner workings of school districts and probably never will. we have got to get them out.

It needs to be big enough to properly fund essential functions, defense, education, and care for the sick and elderly. It doesn't need to be big enough to keep politicians on the taxpayer teat for life. |

While I know it seems that I have all the answers, this one is the real question. The goal of socialization, such as in education, roads or other transportation systems, or workplace regulations, must only be there to make sure the playing field is accessible to all. Not fair, but accessible. Its the only thing that can keep capitalism going. Socialism without capitalism is communism. That sucks. Is proven unworkable. Capitalism without some aspects of socialism is distopian society, like in the book 1984. We will always be fighting for the correct balance. |
