So let me get this straight, the governor's office hemmed and hawed about taking the federal money to put teachers back in the classroom, even threatening not to take the funds because...it was a one shot deal and they were concerned about what strings could be attached. On the other hand, they have been sprinting forward to try to get their hands on the rttt money even though....is is a one shot deal and there are strings attached. Ok, I see now...ummmm, not really. They are both one shot deals and I'm no expert but I'm seeing a whole lot more strings, and probably pricey ones, from rttt then from the fedral funding for rehiring teachers. So a suspicious person (or maybe just someone who uses logic) might say that this doesn't actually make sense on the face of it. I wonder what it is then that is driving the governor's push for getting his hands on the rttt money. It couldn't be any other sort of agenda that rttt just happens to serve, could it?
