Ralliers chant ‘Cronin for Governor’

At the teachers’ rally in Capitol Park this evening, Rep. Brian Cronin, D-Boise, talked about “what was marketed as a school reform plan,” saying, “We know the plan is nothing more than a fiscal crisis plan and a retribution for teachers plan.” Cronin said, “We’re going to need different people in this building,” drawing a loud cheer. He said, “I know that many people are looking at other professions, looking at other states, and it pains me.” Here’s a link to one such story at Huckleberries Online. People in the crowd, who carried signs with slogans including, “Respect - We Teach It, We Deserve It,” “Wake Up Middle Class,” and “Visit a School,” cheered Cronin enthusiastically, at one point breaking into a chant of “Cronin for Governor.”
