| Michigan CapCon, the original source for the notion that Bay City's teacher contract permits educators to sell marijuana to students, tried to criticize The Bridge's coverage of the school reform bills. And, we get a firsthand insight into why CapCon usually only quotes people from the Mackinac Center. Bridge Editor Derek Melot defended the article, which had a sentence that read: "For example, Compuware could open a school for the children of its employees and receive per-pupil funding for it." "We are not implying that Compuware, as a corporate entity, would somehow receive/profit from per pupil operational funds to run a school," Melot said. "The sentence is self-explanatory."
The sentence does indeed speak for itself. Also, this... But Van Beek said there are hundreds of sections of the nearly 300-page school code that HB 5923 will not effect. It amends nine sections and adds four new sections, he said. Melot said legislative impact is not measured simply by counting sections of law, but also in the impact on the policies that the law governs.
