Good stuff CEEP but nobody reads it. Kudos for posting just in case. What do you think of this Houston dude that's been nominated to head Edu?

Excellent article, cpr. This woman can teach many sitting (and soon-to-be-sitting) politicians at every level of government a thing or two about real "work" and what it means to hold the trust of the people who elected you.
