And if you think that it doesn't matter that this mess is playing out, note that we've already lost one large deal to Kansas because of our education ranking. And these two bozos are doing everything they can to force their narrow views on the state and screw us all over.
People voted yes on bonds to build nice modern new public schools costing millions, while Walters and Stitt want to entice students out of them with vouchers for private schools. It makes no sense. I don't see the appeal, especially if the private schools offer no sports, band or FFA for starters. Those people who voted for Walters voted against their best interests. I'm glad the runoff vote margin wasn't very large between Walters and his opponent. Fortunately, a much larger group of voters will have their say in November.
