Let the Floggings Begin!

Rich Miller gets in the first licks on the Governor's education gamble this Holiday Weekend. It's a doozie:

To me, this looks more like a $10 billion plan to eliminate a potentially devastating African-American opponent from the campaign and the foundation for millions of dollars of TV ads, hundreds of newspaper headlines and dozens of stump speeches rather than something that will actually become law one day.
Stay tuned for more weekend editorials and columns as they become available, and please post links to any I miss.

UPDATE: Downstate Democrats have come out against the Governor's proposal in full force. Read here.

"If all the money is going to Chicago, there's no way I'm going to support this." (State Rep. Brandon Phelps)

Meeks seems like a fool, this whole plan is theorertical, lacks funding details, doesn't last into the future AND HASN'T PASSED, it is only possible or potential

Meeks got nothing but rhetoric and empty promises
BUT who knows what he got behind the scenes
guarantee it wasn't concerning gays nor abortion
maybe the airport for the arrogant Claypool supporter Jesse Jr
or money for Meeks non for profits or some pork for his district
The people lose again
and Meeks loses his integrity
