Jeers To Jeb For Tom Luna Crack

JEERS ... to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. Speaking at the National Republican Convention last week, he took an unfair swipe at opponents of Idaho Superintendent Tom Luna's school overhaul package.Bush is a fan of Luna's plan to steer money away from classroom teachers and funnel it toward the for-profit providers of online instruction."That earned some enemies," Bush said. "Some of them slashed the superintendent's tires. But he didn't back down." Nobody knows who spray-painted Luna's truck and slashed two of his tires in 2011. Where did Bush get his information?
