Will Ohio's Governor Send Education $$$ To KY?

Ohio's new Democrat Governor Ted Strickland has had a little time to find out what ails his state, and he has decided that it is the idea of giving parents a choice in where their children are educated. His response is to end the state's small school voucher program.

"To me, vouchers are inherently undemocratic because they allow public dollars to be used in ways and in settings where the public has little or no oversight," Strickland said.


What's funny is that he seems to be a little confused about what constitutes "public oversight." If he really wants to see public dollars disappear into a black hole of unaccountability, perhaps he should consider sending their money to Kentucky's education bureaucrats.
