An education-reporting FrontBurnervian adds her two cents:
The education bill, in a word, is bad. but it won’t matter. Word “on the street” is that the House and Senate are quite displeased that the governor vetoed what they did and are unhappy about being called back into special session. Some fear that the House/Senate will just pass something, anything, through to get this over with and to avoid voter wrath come this fall when schools will be unfunded (or next year, when the lack of school finance reform will really set in for districts around the state have to cut everything non-necessary). A prominent analyst called this “one of the most frustrating legislative sessions he’s been involved with.”
