Finally, a conservative solution to help put fiscal sanity back into the state and improve the quality of education at the same time. Jim Gibbons announced his education plan yesterday with these highlights:
- Abolish collective bargaining. This has no place in governmental service.
- Abolish the class-size reduction program. A make work union rule.
- Create a statewide school voucher program.
- Eliminate full-day kindergarten requirement.
- Repeal the prohibition against using student achievement data in teacher evaluations. Another union boondoggle rule.
Predictably, Democratic candidate Rory Reid who like his father is owned by the unions opposes the suggestions.
Sadly, Brian Sandoval also panned the proposal. Methinks Sandoval is showing his true, liberal colors. Remember, Guinn v. Legislature? Brian like Guinn was a tax and spend RINO then; doesn’t look like he has changed!
