We need to recognize the governor's effort and due diligence. 

As you say this has been a recognized problem for many many decades but this governor being an engineer was able to work through Department of Education bureaucracy and get the job done. 

Democrats will get the job done even if they have to try a number of things first. 

Republicans don't even try because they think it's too hard. Governor Linda lingle could have taken action many years ago but she did not.
