      <![CDATA[I predict it will fail, under heavy opposition from the teachers' union, a small cadre of black ministers and other blowhards primarily concerned about protecting jobs and/or protecting black political strength. (Never mind that blacks would be almost guaranteed to soon hold a majority of seats on a consolidated city-county school board.)

      <![CDATA[I think it will pass once people understand the potentially disastrous effect on MCS of establishing SCS as a special school district, and MCS' (and city residents') powerlessness to prevent that from happening by any means other than the charter surrender. <br>
<br>
As for the mayors taking a position, correct me if I'm wrong, but their position (or lack thereof) didn't seem to have much, if any, effect on the vote in November, so why should it be any different this time?
