The place to make the decision starts at the ballot box.  If they won't
listen, run yourself.  If I'd have stayed in Richmond, I'd have done just
that!

But as far as taxpayer funded schools go, I want to fund one, and only
one.  If the quality isn't there, then we must fix that, not divide the
assets and funding and try something new.  Private schools can do that
with their own money, but my taxpeyers money had better be going to one
quality system, not to quell some group within who is frustrated with the
process.

If the process is flawed, fix it.  If the product is flawed, fix it.  If
the employees are to blame, fix that too.  But don't go out and start some
other system within a system to placate those who are too impatient or
ignorant to make it work.
