The state is running surpluses. Unassailably good news.
There is a huge backlog of school construction needs in communities across the state.

The governor, commissioner of education, Democrats, Republicans … no one is addressing a big problem with a compelling approach. I might add that I see no editorial opinion expressed on the subject, either.
Let’s get something done.
