Today on the Jack Clegg Show, Jack Clegg welcomes Rhyen Staley, Director of Research at Defending Education, for a conversation centered on major issues shaping education funding and accountability across the country.
Staley shares his findings on the scale and influence of teachers union dues and how those funds are directed toward political and advocacy efforts that many taxpayers may not be aware of or comfortable with.
Jack also takes listeners through a clear explanation of what “Election Day” means today—and why so many jurisdictions have expanded it into an “Election Month,” along with the implications for how elections are conducted and experienced.
In addition, Jack breaks down the role of the Public Service Commission—what it does, why it matters, and how its decisions quietly impact utility rates and services in everyday life.
