Thumbs Down on School Choice Compromise

What does $25 million towards SAGE (a class-size reduction program for public schools) have to do with School Choice? Where is that money going to come from? Does state government have some reserve of money that I don't know about?

SAGE has nothing to do with School Choice. The money will come from another round of the shell game that we as Wisconsinites have come to know as budgeting by state government--a transfer here, a new fee there, and in the end the budget always come out "balanced," until a couple months after the budget is signed and there are deficits.

You should double check your math. It's a bit off as is your political instinct.
