Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jill Long Thompson announced an education plan today. She wants: Free books, including a new one for every child, every month until they’re five years old. Give high school students five years to graduate. Send more students to college by expanding the 21st Century Scholars program. The Department of Education says it will cost taxpayers an additional $10,000 for each student who spends 5 years rather than the traditional 4-year period to complete high school.

Tully writes of Burton: McGoff is running against an incumbent who has repeatedly embarrassed his constituents and his state. Actually, his opponent is perhaps the premier embarrassment in all of Congress -- and that’s saying something. Burton was elected in 1982 and has made a mockery of h...
