Success story
I read in the paper that our governor was going to visit CJHS. That's great, but why not visit an elementary school that has consistently performed well on the state assessment each year. Blanchard is a school with a large majority of students in the poverty level.

And the union employees, of course, had objected, and they managed to get their Democrat allies in Congress to cancel the exemption that the boat had had for 40 years. Because of that, the Delta Queen quit running on the rivers. And so, that's the rest of the story. But you might look at your archives. You'll see that article, how the Democratic people on the committees in Washington, D.C., managed to drydock the Delta Queen.
