While I was gone Part 2

Below are a series of information that was sent in to me in my absence, on the 14th and 15th of June.  I don't usually post County Party information, but the fact that Spartanburg is actively soliciting young people to be involved is very note worthy.  We all can benefit from their example.  Please continue to send me your thoughts and information and I will continue to post those that meet the purpose of this Blog.

Ford's message to Zais: We must go after cash
Tuesday, June 14, 2011
Sen. Robert Ford, D-Charleston, said he will urge his fellow lawmakers to formally call on Superintendent of Education Mick Zais to compete for as much as $50 million in "Race to the Top" cash.
Ford said he will file a resolution today. The legislation wouldn't force Zais to act.
The Republican superintendent said in late May that the money from the U.S. Department of Education, designed to be an incentive to improve schools, comes with strings attached. South Carolina is one of nine states eligible to participate. Zais maintains that more federal money for education won't solve weaknesses in the public schools.
Ford said South Carolina can't afford to walk away from the money.
"That's unheard of," Ford said. "We are a suffering state."
