Texas Governor Rick Perry in a radio ad has a one-liner that is worthy of spreading. .
” And more education for your money, not just more money for education.”
It is unfortunate that Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen doesn’t have the same values. Governor Phil made millions on managed health care and can’t fix TennCare, which was his #1 campaign promise. Governor Phil then creates a pre-k program to chew up dollars like a buzz saw, when he has yet to solve the low test scores, especially in the urban areas.
There is a political reason for Bredesen, his legacy and results will not be held accountable for success until the first pre-k’er graduates high school in 12-16 years. By then Governor Phil will be in a retirement house in Townsend, TN next door to Governor Don, sharing laughs and coffee on the front porch.
