Mark M, I am incensed about the total misrepresentation of the school district mess in StL as being an issue of race. That is a huge lie (or as Harry Truman said a D*mn lie). It's all about urban flight to the suburbs and the lack of action by the school board (the controlling legal authority). Why do rural schools die on the vine from lack of funding? Because of the disporportionate amount of state funding that goes to schools in KC and StL to support their court ordered plans. Guess what? KC schools lost their accreditation after 20 years of this mandated mess. Every school district should receive the same amount of state funds/child regardless of tax base. What is Mel Carnahan's legacy? Proposition 390 which is what Kennedy touted yesterday! Many rural districts are using 15 year old books because of that abortion! As far as the Senate race, the polls in StL were held open for 3 hours because of a court order involving a bogus request for relief drafted before the election! StL city went 80/20 for the democrats -- more than enough votes for place Holden and Carnahan in office. The Missouri Secretary of State has the vote totals. BTW, the plaintiff(s) named in the request for relief are a person who is dead and a person who is not registered to vote.
