August 14, 200719 yr Well now, this will get interesting.... "It is particularly disappointing to see such a bad idea come from an agency to educate our children," Roeding said. From the article....The committee's vote left the future of the measure unclear. The deficient vote doesn't necessarily mean the end of Proposal 2, which would first apply to students who enter seventh grade in the 2008-09 school year. It still faces review from House-Senate education committee next month, and Gov. Ernie Fletcher may also get involved.

It still faces review from House-Senate education committee next month, and Gov. Ernie Fletcher may also get involved. If the co-chair used that kind of language, then most likely all six committee members felt that strongly as well. If Gov. Fletcher tries to use this issue for political gain before the election, which way will he go? I'd suggest that discretion might be the better part of valor for him - not that this issue should necessarily sway one's vote. Obviously, Kentucky has bigger problems.
August 14, 200719 yr I don't think Fletcher's gonna die in that ditch. He needs all the votes he can get anyway.
August 14, 200719 yr "It is particularly disappointing to see such a bad idea come from an agency to educate our children," Roeding said. Wow! What will Wilson do now???
August 15, 200719 yr Let the politics begin................. Looks like the opposition in the legislature is Ohmygosh bi-partisan .
August 15, 200719 yr SearsCorrect, my mistake. I must have gotten him confused, with the Spears and Roebuck catalog....
