I'm waiting for the same thing to happen here in newly-blue New Hampshire. The Dem gov was elected for a second term, and the first thing he says in his victory speech is that he's going to raise the mandatory school attendance age to 18! There's no way he can keep his "no taxes pledge" and still be able to fund the additional classrooms and teachers that idea will require.

And that was only the first item in his laundry list of give-aways...

Meaning you can't leave high school until you are 18? Even if you have finished all 12 grades?

I don't get it. What is the problem he is trying to solve?
