Jeb Bush to pitch education reform to legislators






By Chris Casacchia
Phoenix Business Journal

September 29, 2009


Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will address a joint hearing of the Arizona House and Senate education committees on Thursday detailing initiatives he implemented in Florida schools to bridge the racial achievement gap that plagues public school systems around the country.

.....

Jeb Bush, brother to former President George W. Bush, presided over the controversial Florida recount during the 2000 presidential election, which dragged on for five weeks.

Since leaving office, Jeb Bush has been active in the neoconservative think tank Project for the New American Century, and has served on the board of directors of Tenet Healthcare. In 2007, he joined the investment bank Lehman Brothers as an adviser in its private equity group, before the New York financial giant collapsed and helped send Wall Street in a tailspin.

The conservative Goldwater Institute in Phoenix is promoting Bush’s appearance Thursday at the Old Capitol Building, west of downtown Phoenix.

The Liberty City Charter would be the shining school of choice on the hill for inner-city victims of the public schools. Turns out it was just an electoral device and the African-American children inside were just props in a campaign photo-op. You see in 1994 Jeb Bush ran for governor for the first time. He came very close but Lawton Chiles bested him by less than two percentage points. The fact that Bush got only 4% of the Black vote was probably the difference. Jeb realized that when asked during the campaign what a Bush Administration would do for Black Floridians it was unwise to have answered, “Probably nothing.”



More of Jeb Bush's acid-tongued history is here.



My best advice whenever this character darkens the door, is don't open it.
