Bad Omen

Kitzhaber's appointment of Ron Saxton to lead the primary and secondary education transition teams for his administration is a bad omen. Sure Saxton once served on the Portland School Board, but what other bona fides qualify him to lead these transition teams? I voted for Kitzhaber, but he wasn't my first choice. I supported Bradbury in the primary race. There will be no "reform" of public education Oregon during Kitzhaber's term. There isn't the money available for real reform. Belt-tightening and reallocation of money will not suffice. Real reform requires real money
