While she was in office she shrank the size of the bureacracy of the State Department of Education and heck, we pulled solidly ahead of Mississippi in SAT scores. It was just during her ill fated campaign for Governor that she spent money meant for def children on a face lift. And as for his tenure as Governor, let's recall that Zell didn't actually change the flag, he just talked about it then caved when the polls showed a lack of support. The people he appointed are worthy becasue of their own merit, not his. He did create a concept for a state lottery to fund education, but it was the voters that approved it. Perhaps we should build a statue of Zell on the capitol, it just ought to be a weather vane.
