It’s unfair of me, I suppose, but my immediate reaction to the NYT op-ed, What We Learned in the Statehouse: Four departing governors single out key difficulties facing the states, was to write a satirical article What We Learned in the Big House: Four former Illinois governors reflect on their terms in office and in prison.
The NYT forum, a collection of brief op-eds from four former governors, is mostly harmless and meaningless pap. I note that they’re all safely out of office. Couldn’t they have come up with something more serious, more specific, more intense? I think you’d get more firebrand advocacy from an address to a Kiwanis club.
