The Senate has not been interested in what the House has done on education. The House has not been interested in what the Senate has done on education. So, naturally, it's time to compromise. Our sources in the Legislature tell us that compromise is in the works.
House and Senate leadership, apparently, is ready to combine the bill creating an Agency of Education and the bill repealing the two-votes provision of Act 82. The Senate wants the former. The House wants the latter. So they'll do both.
Both leaderships want to say they've done something on education. Too bad all Speaker Symington will be able to say is that the House repealed what it passed last year. That's not something. That's nothing.
What does one expect from a state party dominated by VTNEA? Progress? No way! VTNEA got what they paid for, in spades. The only good thing is that their day of reckoning is coming in 10 years. The trouble is, I may not be here to see the house of cards crumble. Sigh...
