Ken LaValle, I think, has been a force for wealthy districts in the state capital, and if we're going to get things fixed, he's got to change his mind or go. I did a little story about school finance for the NYT a couple of years ago, so my opinions are based on a little research. That article is on my web site (www.nancyswett.com), in the writing clips section. Anyway, love your blog, I have one too. I'd like to add a link from my blog to yours, if you don't mind. You're the only other person I know around here who blog! Comments to you on your blog do not constitute letters to the editor, I hope.
