Surprise! Burmaster for DPI, says the daily

I saw this last night, but it was past my bedtime and it wasn't really newsworthy. So I didn't so anything about it then.

It is not a surprise that the Journal Sentinel editorial board endorsed, give their position on the Milwaukee voucher program. The board likes the program but wants stricter academic standards--something Burmaster has been angling for. Underheim has said he doesn't want academic standards for voucher schools.

Elsewhere around the state, the Janesville Gazette endorsed Burmaster, questioning whether Underheim is more committed to the children of Wisconsin or to the Republican leadership that recruited him to run. The Capital Times is also in Burmaster's camp (another big surprise!), though I couldn't find any endorsement on the Wisconsin State Journal's page. None of the Gannet papers seem to have endorsements on-line, nor does Underheim's hometown paper (and adopted hometown paper). Makes you wonder, eh?
