The legislature called her bluff by authorizing the money to put the guard on the border. Now she has to follow though or knows she would NOT be re-elected for sure later this year... (I am hoping she wont be anyway, but dont see too much competition for the seat at this point...)
Yes the state is being fined $1 million a day for not having some extra english immersion program. She got the fines redirected into an account to fund the program that we dont have. It was her way of forcing funding for a program she wanted but did not get and now she is blaming it on our legislature but they have rewritten the bill 4 times now and she veto'd it the first 3. This last time she refused to sign or veto it and let it go for review by the federal judge that imposed the fines... if she would have just done this originally either the whole issue would be over and fines would be done with or we would at least know what the feds wanted added to it by now. I dont care what the hell she does from now on, because of all the partisan games she plays, no way in hell I am voting for her ever!
Ditto! As yet, I don't think she has sent troops to the border. We need to push hard for English only - the parents and the board in district 13 are going to ask for more money for a Spanish class in the High School and will need at least two new teachers. They can take Spanish now; it is obvious what the ploy is here.
