Unofficial Voice of the Utah Senate Majority
Welcome to The Senate Site
Wednesday, November 07, 2007SteveU.com: Vouchers
Representative -- and voucher bill sponsor -- Urquhart posted a blog on the referendum discussion and where we might focus now that the referendum is behind us.
". . . Such discussions form a potential basis for significant improvement – if we can figure out how to keep the discussions going and how to collaborate on possible approaches and solutions. I would hope we have broad agreement that (1) parents need to be more involved in their children’s education, (2) Utah’s educational system needs to adequately (and, some day, exceptionally) prepare our children for college, the workforce, and the world, (3) incentives need to be in place to attract/retain great teachers and encourage bad teachers to improve or, if not, leave, and (4) public education needs greater funding.Read the full blog here. Steve Urquhart shows some real class under frustrating circumstances, and what he says makes sense. We found it interesting and heartening the Trib poll that projected the voucher vote also indicated "Utahns overwhelmingly support exploring education reforms other than vouchers. Seventy-seven percent like the idea of merit pay for teachers, 70 percent would like to see full-fledged open enrollment in public schools and 61 percent like the idea of charter schools." We have some work to do. Keep paying attention.

Don't worry about us paying attention to you. You should pay attention to what we just said.
Davis, let me give you a lesson in American democracy.
The election stands.
But don't pretend that I have to bow to your ideology by sheer force of majority.
I see no reason in America to abandon a position simply because it runs counter to the majority.
In fact, to accomodate your threat in any way would be fundamentally un- American.
No threat Ethan, just advice. It is my hope that this election will serve as a reminder to elected officials that their decisions are subject to the consent of the people. I also hope that more people will wake up and realize that it is their legislator who is usually part of the problem when they complain about the legislature as a whole. If my first hope succeeds, perhaps legislators won't have to worry about retribution from the public next November. However, my second hope, though less likely to happen immediately, will eventually come to pass if legislators don't pay attention to these election results.
Good thought.
Good comeback.
Good advice.
Thanks.
Future attempts could instead use this as the banner:
Citizens for Funding Public Schools
and vouchers would be one of the means.

Paris Fashion Week opened on Monday in a city car garage. The first show of haute couture impressed with a graphic collection of bold shapes and bright colors.

Young French designer Alexis Mabille said his new Spring/Summer collection was inspired by Russian painter Kazimr Malevich. He said the artistic movement, known as "Suprematism", stresses basic geometric shapes, using a sparse range of color.

Alexis Mabille, designer, said, "The inspirations were Malevich and Suprematism, this idea of leaving the body, or going into it, with structures, a couple, more graphic, and working on that, working with the female body to add volume. It's like a kind of surgery, you go in and add contrasting colors to enhance it."
