Legislature to Pass MAEP Today?

More details as they develop ...

The word out of the Capitol is that the Legislature's first order of business today—the first day of the 2007 session—is to pass the Mississippi Adequate Education Program. This would be a major victory for public-education propopents who have fought Gov. Haley Barbour and his legislative followers tooth and nail to get MAEP fully funded.

Wow. If this happens, my day will be made... Can you imagine the good this, combined with the school bond initiative, might do for JPS? I mean, this is how we make this a better city--not with helicopter spotlights, not with sledgehammers, not by letting officers beat handcuffed suspects, but with love. Cheers, TH
