Legislators’ test scores
I read teacher Ruth Gordon’s letter about getting her SAT test score from more than four decades ago in order to gain a minimal bonus, the apparent brainchild of state Rep. Erik Fresen. She said it was so ancient that she could barely decipher her scores.
Here’s a better idea! Let’s require each and every Florida lawmaker to send in for their scores from high school, and those with lower-than-median marks must forfeit a full two years of their legislative earnings.
Watch as each of them runs for cover.
