At last night’s meeting, the Brunswick board of education decided to table plans to build a pre-K center with public funds in favor of exploring pre-K facilities options available in the private sector. The report quotes board member Ray Gilbert saying, “I’m concerned that this is a case of the government doing a function that the private sector can do…”

Ok, I do not want to rock the boat, but now, Ray, let’s apply this idea elsewhere. A journey of a thousand miles begins with the realization that the government won’t carry you the rest of the way.
