Hidden ball trick
The Journal-Sentinel has not been so excited about an issue since the days when they hired lobbyists to push a reluctant Legislature to fund Miller Park. Make no mistake. JS is part of the "team" that favors elimination of a democratically elected school board. They line up with the voucher supporters, Governor Doyle, and DPI.
Doyle, JS, Howard Fuller--all predictable. No one in the crowd was surprised about those folks. But they still shake their heads and wonder aloud, "Why would our friend Tom Barrett get on the Doyle team?"
So they listened carefully to the mayor, and his grade would be a "C" or lower. He can't convince the doubters because it seems he is not convinced.
The hall was packed and the lobby was jammed with No Takeover buttons, but the JS reporter writes "members of the public were fairly evenly divided." (Pigs fly and chickens have lips.) It is remarkable to see Democrats Doyle, Barrett, Taylor and others throw a skunk into the church. It is possible that the powers that be will prevail, but if they "roll" those who believe in parental involvement of education the kids in MPS will not benefit.
Met the daughter of the late Milwaukee Mayor Frank Zeidler. She said, "Frank would be in the first row fighting this travesty." Amen.
The clunker is in the refusal of the Doyle/Barrett people to explain the details. They failed yesterday.
