<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Yes, the same. Vandersloot's info is being fed to him from Luna's office, as is that from DeVries and Goesling. My understanding is much of those data aren't published yet and the SDE won't release them to just anyone. The figures bandied about regarding merit pay could be simply someone's guess but the impacts of those fund losses from the instructional budgets are being felt all over the state. Of course the SDE could have released the merit pay funds earlier, but it's in their best interest to hang on to them until after the election, and continue to argue the Union is holding good teachers hostage. </div><div><br></div><div>It helps that Senator Cameron rejected Luna' s claim the funds wouldn't go into the education budget should the laws be overturned. </div><div><br></div><div>The Trib editorial page had a good response to Luna today. I suppose we'll see Vandersloot's ad in the DN before long. I thought of responding but it's so full of hyperbole and outright falsehoods i don't know where to start. I think people who read it won't be mislead. Teachers here are staunchly on the side of repeal. </div><div><br></div><div>I'm hoping at least some Republican candidates are willing to continue to oppose it, but sadly, their own party turned a lot of them out in the Primary. <br><br>Sent from my iPad Sue Hovey</div><div><br></div><div><br>On Sep 14, 2012, at 4:55 PM, "Bill London" <<a href="mailto:london@moscow.com">london@moscow.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Did you all see the full page ad in the Sunday Lewiston Trib
about Props 1,2, and 3 with the headline ‘Unions Declare War on Idaho
Kids!?’ It was full of misleading and inaccurate stuff (putting it politely), so
I wrote a letter of rebuttal to the Trib. I doubt they will print it, since it
was a paid ad and my letter could be seen as free advertising for ma pointe de
vue. If anybody see’s it, please let me know. I’m curious.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I couldn’t find out much about the ‘Melaleuca’ that was it
the ad’s ‘paid for by’ attribution. Is ‘Melaleuca’ the same as Vandersloot’s
herbal remedies outfit? That would be funny. Is there actually any Echinacea in
the Echinacea, for example? After seeing that ad, I would wonder.<o:p></o:p></p>
