Education promises to be a hot topic as the governor's race heats up.
A few general comments on the electoral process and this election in particular may be in order. First, we hope that, unlike most elections, this one can be conducted in a reasonably civil manner. Second, we will all get a pay raise in the fall, just a few short weeks before the polls open, thanks to the governor and other incumbent politicians. Its pretty insulting that they seem to think the state's employees in education are so dense to fall for such an obvious, manipulative ploy, particularly when James and others are complaining that we spend too much on educating the future generation. Finally, and most important, we live in a democracy and in a democracy, the electorate is ultimately responsible for the policies that politicians pursue.
