The Chandler Chamber of Commerce, the chamber in John Huppenthal’s hometown, has endorsed Penny instead, reporter Edythe Jensen writes in this article in yesterday’s Arizona Republic. Huppenthal was on the Chandler City Council prior to making his first run for the Legislature, and has lived in the city for years. Yet, when it came right down to it, the Chandler Chamber threw their support behind Penny. By taking this action, the Chandler Chamber of Commerce clearly realizes what Penny’s supporters all over the state already know: the Republican formula of underfunding, tax credits, endless testing and little support is what got us to where we are today, and that high standards and high expectations are what will work to reinvigorate education in Arizona and create opporunities to move forward.
