Blackburn Has An Education Plan in Place to Keep TN Dead Last in Student Spending

When Sen. Marsha Blackburn began talking about running for Governor of TN, it didn't take a seer to figure out this political game.  

Since the current governor, Bill Lee, could not run for a third term, the TN Taliban's supermajority concluded that Blackburn could win easily the governor's race and then name Lee to serve out her remaining term as U.S. Senator. In other words, trade jobs, and, thus, help to keep the billionaire gravy train running on time, both federally and at the state level--all the while continuing to gut programs for working Tennesseans in terms of health, education, infrastructure, and the economy.

A for-instance: it took eight years to do it, but school voucher advocate, Bill Lee, managed to take Tennessee schools to the 51st position in education spending.  

And with a school voucher plan in place, if Tennesseans elect Marsha, they can be assured that she will continue the Lee plan to feed private schools with taxpayer dollars and to further shortchange public school children and parents.
