I have little doubt Ellis was ratfucked by the Kochs and other voucher slime like Jensen, because they replaced him with a puppet in Roger Roth. <br /><br /> It's an instructive story, because there are no "reasonable Republicans" left that will slow down or modify bad legislation. Which is why I say all GOPs must be held accountable and removed, no matter what they say in public.Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426800777521979578.post-17963857763608547662016-10-25T08:58:55.505-05:002016-10-25T08:58:55.505-05:00My son was in special education in one form or ano...My son was in special education in one form or another for most of this time in Madison Public Schools. I'm debating just how much I want to say about that experience.<br /><br />I met some truly amazing people - people who helped my son in a dozen different ways every day he was there, but if you were to ask me about the program in general, I don't think we're getting a lot of bang for our buck.<br /><br />As for our legislature and its complicity with the voucher program, it's worth remembering Mike Ellis.<br /><br />Looong time Republican State Senator. Pretty well-regarded in most quarters. Not a big voucher supporter. Oddly enough, I haven't heard much from ole Mike in a while.<br /><br />There was that thing where James O'Keefe surreptitiously recorded him musing about doing what it turns out Scott Walker and company were actually doing, and I think he was gone soon after that.<br /><br />Can't imagine there's any connection though.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427829158996224733noreply@blogger.com
