[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going ot admit to being wholly self interested right now - with college age kids going to state school.

I used to think she was - as others have said on this thread - terrible and only performative for statehood and not in touch.

BUT.  She is the sole reason DC Tag continues to exist.  10K a year does not cover the difference between in state and out of state tuition, but it sure helps a whole heck of a lot and would be a real loss.  I have to believe it's on the chopping block right now and if there is one thing Norton has shown herself ot be good at, it's preserving that 10K.

I hope we have someone good who succeeds her and someone that can pull the strongs and make the connections she has.  I really hope she has been grooming someone.  Or that whomever takes her spot keeps the staff that have those relationships that can get this done.

She's not proven to be able to solve the stupid budget problem the House is refusing to fix.  So maybe her mojo is waning. [/quote]

Don’t forget that other states like the DC Tag too.  It funnels out of state kids to their schools who pay twice the instate tuition.  She’s no miracle worker.  TAG should be $20k by now.  [/quote]
