*** "Now in her second four-year term, she advocates something that the Times presumably considers visionary and not a bit small-bore — a $2 million pedestrian and bike trail. Ladenburg lamented to the Times that she thinks 'this is crazy' because, 'If I go away, and it's not completed, what will happen?'" ***

This reminds me of our former governer Olene Walker. Walker spent nearly a quarter-century in high state office including 8 in the legislature, including several years as majority whip, 11 as the governor's right hand woman, and 1 as actual governor. Yet when she ran for governor in 2004 her claim was that she had 'lots of great ideas for education' she wanted to enact. Where were those "great ideas" her first 24 years in office?
