 Atlanta has a higher cost, for a district that is reasonably

 I would like to see it tried. Since republicans have been in a
 position to do this for over a decade in several states, and
 haven't even tried, it will prove they really didn't care all
 along.

 OTOH, notice how deep the republicans are getting the federal
 government involved in education? I just love the way the right
 has told us all these years education is not a federal
 responsibility, now it's a republcan congress and administration
 getting the camel's nose in the tent.
