State Board of Ed Nominee

I was surprised to see that the State Senate almost unanimously voted for Linda McMahon of World Wrestling Entertainment for a position on the State Board of Education.

I only know of the woman from what I've read, and while her entertainment acumen seems strong, just having an interest in education doesn't seem enough credentials for this important board. Kudos to State Senator Joan Hartley of Waterbury for her lone vote against.

It now goes to the House, and I've written our Meriden delegation on my opinion that they vote to oppose. Or let me know why they think she'd be a good add. We'll see what happens.
