Great googly-moogly! Pat and I have finally found a tiny piece of common=
ground. Why are Southern Idahoans pumping money into a campaign to unse=
at Gary Schroeder? And what's ex-State Senator Darrell Deide's financial=
stake in removing a powerful advocate for charter school accountability?=
Without Schroeder's "obstruction," I suspect Idaho would be subjected t=
o the creation of more unaccountable, for-profit, tax-dollar sinkholes li=
ke The Idaho Virtual Academy. =20
(BTW, the state is doing bupkes to help the UI plug its dreadful budget g=
ap, but they've dropped $1.6 million into the black hole of The Idaho Vir=
tual Academy. As IVA purchases its curriculum from a Virginia-based comp=
any called K12, run by former Secretary of Education and gambling addict,=
William Bennett, I wonder how many of my tax dollars were on Smarty Jone=
s at the Preakness? Should I sue for a share of the winnings?) =20
=20
It's clear that many who live beneath the Boise-Dixon line don't like Gar=
y Schroeder; they object to the power he wields on our behalf. He's foug=
ht for years to ensure that the University of Idaho remains the state's f=
lagship institution, and he's been remarkably successful. Too successful=
, it would seem, for our neighbors in the South. =20
And so, a vote for Gregg Vance is a vote for a bullet in Latah County's f=
oot. Say, do you think it's too late to put that on a billboard? =20

PS: I made a geographical error in my last post: Gregg Vance does not liv=
e in Deary. He lives in Potlatch. I don't know how I could have confuse=
d the two. One's a tiny town about 20 miles outside of Moscow and the ot=
her's . . . a tiny town about 20 miles outside of Moscow.
