The only thing that gives me pause about vouchers and school choice is that government money always comes with strings attached. The teachers unions will try to impose all kinds of conditions such as what should be taught, how long the school year should be, what tests would be required, etc. I hope I’m wrong and this leads to greater freedom and innovation in education. The worst thing that happened to this country was having government involved in education.

“ While Hofmeister occasionally led the polls in the weeks before the election”

I never saw a poll where they didn’t have joy ahead and I kept prety close tabs on this race

Two years ago and again last year he said state finances were in good shape. Sufficient for raises for state employees and to eliminate the state tax on groceries.

I’m still waiting on the grocery tax elimination. I think I’ll be waiting until I die for that one.

Easily Winning 2nd Term, OK Gov. Stitt Plans to Move Forward on School Vouchers

This is how you do it. The Teachers unions came out hard against Stitt, so Stitt needs to cut their financial throats.

I have long felt that state employees should not be allowed to vote in state offices. It is a conflict of interest.
