Everyone has talking points. That's why no one listens any more. That's the state of affairs on both the national and state level. Wouldn't it be stupendous if all sides could imagine something new?
According to supporters of SC Supreme Court oversight of the funding issue, the SC General Assembly has done nothing right during the decades of court oversight and will continue to do nothing right now that the oversight is gone.
Those who are glad oversight has been lifted claim that everything possible has been done and that continued oversight "would be a gross overreach of judicial power and separation of powers." Hundreds of millions of dollars have been thrown at the problem of rural schools' facilities and programs.
The SC Supreme Court really wants the state to abandon its "over-complicated, piecemeal system" of funding education, "what justices [have] called the state's antiquated, fractured funding 'scheme.'"
Right. No doubt local school districts all over the state will be happy to give power over funding to the general assembly. In fact, they are all begging to be relieved of this chore. Why don't our elected state representatives respond to their pressure?
By the way, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.
