While teachers are losing their jobs, estimates are that the recall election of MI Rep. Paul Scott cost about $1 million dollars (source: MIRS). Wow a $1,000,000.00 fight over a Rep. seat because, in large part, of his stances on Education Reform. I wonder how many educational improvements, teachers/admin salaries, new school resources could have [...]
