Re: Question about Internet access for educators

Mark,
        Great idea on the per capita Internet access allocation, but are
we not in this situation because our legislators weren't willing to lay
out the money for this incredible service in the first place? Please
correct me if I am wrong. If I am right, I think we need to work on our
legislators once more. After all, it is an elction year for them.
