blackcat, your state IS the one I was thinking about-- where charters have had the longest timeline for playing out.

There were "start-up" troubles right from the start in the system, but those were mostly about poor management by people who REALLY had their hearts in the right places. Then there was a golden period where things worked well administratively, and the same original players with great ideas and the purest of motivations were in charge of C&I...

and now, the endgame, with monetization being the underlying goal.

Schrödinger's cat walks into a bar. And doesn't.
