I'm going to lay off any more people-making for a long while, I got a general outline for a Prog that I am saving.

We've already got so many generals. Make a teacher or something



I don’t have to do a general but I need something that would make him popular across party lines and that republicans would have trouble attacking

Is there a labor caucus in the House? Are there caucuses here? Or is it all informal? Also, any Republicans want to run for office and join Morton out in the Bay Area (assuming the character app is accepted)?

We have had caucuses try to form, it never works out.

Usually they are informal

The only other characters in and near the Bay area are De Nieto and Alphonsey.

Dent why don't you do something that isn't often done and have a state senator, state rep, or county executive run for office?

Last education oriented tweet for West in a while. She should pass that bill in the state, because it requires almost no extra spending.

Not really. It's only a small increase of state budget with regard to K-12 education, that is smaller than neighboring states. It's more about better utilizing existing funds,shifting it towards the people involved in actual teaching process.

Education is one of these fields where you can achieve a lot with little investment if you got the right infrastructure and Mass is good in this regard.

Brookings seems to think it would be feasible for 2-4 billion per year nation wide.

I can't find any stats for the total cost in places that have it, like New York City.
