So Governor Ted Strickland made his second State of the State address yesterday...I caught the last 20 minutes or so on NPR. That meant I got the meat and potatoes of the speech...namely, a primary education chancellor and a $1.7 billion stimulus program to create jobs.
Here's the transcript...
...and a news story with the highlights from the Columbus Dispatch.
There were also some big promises on college...guaranteed quality associate and bachelors degrees available within 30 miles of every Ohioan...a "Seniors to Sophomores" program that will let high school seniors opt into a state college for their last year.
I liked it. I thought Strickland did a nice job, wasn't bashing anyone, was making some nice gestures to the legislature. And he's got his eye on the prize...now to see if we can actually get the education system in this state under control.
