Thanks for the insight regarding the Bolles Bill. Your experience reinforces my belief that many of our legislators act according to what preserves their personal power, including making those they don’t like “pay” for their audacity to disagree. Personal politics nor public politics. Where are those politicians who actually care about “we the people”?

Charter schools are quasi-public -- and in Arizona, we allow for-profit outfits like BASIS. Teachers and other educators who directly help students should be well-paid. When you look at the type of wealth by a chain's owners that can buy a $6M house, you should ask, who's being paid well here?

The first time through the process with the Bolles bill was a good learning experience. Now that you have that experience, hopefully Rep. Eigo can help this time with his background & as a member of the legislature. I find it unsettling that so much history has been lost or forgotten. Or maybe just ignored.

I remember listening to the Dodger game on that Sunday when he passed. The news came out during a break in the action. Back in the old days, we could hear Dodger games on local radio & the Phoenix Giants were our AAA team playing at Muni Stadium.

I think is shows your extreme bias against BASIS as Block's primary business is\was commercial construction. He got into the charter business in that way-
