News media need to monitor ‘race’
Quote from Time magazine April 12, 2010. “Tennessee and Delaware won the first round of the Race To The Top, a $4.35 billion dollar federal grant program to help states improve their education systems. Tennessee was awarded $500 million.”
In the current cesspool of corruption, greed, theft and mismanagement it would certainly be appropriate for the public to monitor how this very large sum is used to improve education, which needs improved leadership and practical solutions. The news media seem to be the only investigative source for honest answers and truth on all facets of activity of government and citizens. Go for it, news media. This is a project.
