As Saturday’s Georgia-Florida game approaches, much attention is being paid to the fact that the Gators just fired their head coach and are now looking to lure a high-quality replacement to Florida.
Yet, curiously, there’s another Sunshine State recruiting effort that ought to interest Georgia residents — and Peach State policymakers — even more.
A billboard recently appeared in downtown Atlanta featuring a young schoolgirl with this message: “Every Florida child gets $8,000 for public, private, or home education. Join us.”
The billboard is sponsored by a Florida-based think tank for which I work . And when some of my Georgia friends first saw it, they asked if this was some dirty trick:
“Are you guys trying to lure some of our state’s education-minded families to Florida?”
