Long Lost Campaign Promise - Rev. Ted's Education Reform

Uh-Oh! Rev. Ted is AGAIN promising education reform and this time he means business! He doesn't know how is going to do it, but when he does - nobody better stand in his way!

From the PD --

Strickland pledged again Thursday to propose revamped public school funding and other reforms next year. He didn't give details in a speech at the Ohio Federation of Teachers state convention but seemed to anticipate a need to bull through or go around the General Assembly.

"It will be a Herculean effort," he told nearly 300 delegates beginning a three-day session at the Crowne Plaza Cleveland Hotel. "I will ask, really beg you, to help with this effort."

Strickland is soliciting ideas for reform and said he won't firm up his plan until listening to people across the state. Proposals he has heard so far include setting a local minimum for school taxes, dumping the Ohio Graduation Test for other measures of achievement and establishing a statewide pay scale for teachers.

"It is important we develop public support for whatever the final effort is," Strickland later told reporters. "I don't want to just put forth an effort that will fail." More...

What did he just say - Does not want to put forth an effort that would would fail? Excuse me Rev. - did you forget about your budget? Sorry, that passed - only it IS a failure!

Hillary better watch out - it sounds like Rev. Ted is getting some help from O'Dumbo on giving empty speeches of hope.
