StumbleFLASHPOINT for Oct 10, 2007
Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2007 | 7:14 a.m.
What kind of chancellor calls his own state residents "hor- ribly and fatally undereducated"? What kind of chancellor says he is "sickened" by statistics that show Nevada is an education wasteland? What kind of chancellor says students will have to pay more in tuition in the near future? Of course, it's Nevada's own Jim Rogers, whose statements in his State of the System speech seem tame compared with his calling the governor a lamebrain and advocating a state income tax. I know a lot of people out there don't like Rogers because they think he is an overbearing blowhard. But the man deserves credit for speaking the truth and for starting debates on important subjects. Now if he would only finish them.
