Good morning:

Denisha Merriweather, a former recipient of the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program introduced Gov. Jeb Bush last week at the Foundation for Excellence in Education National Summit, here’s a highlight of her speech. Ann Duplessis, president of the Louisiana Federation for Children spoke with WWL-TV and WYLD-FM about Louisiana Scholarship Program. And, Thanksgiving is only a three days away! Any fun holiday traditions? Mine usually consists of watching the Detroit Lions lose on national TV.
Have a great Monday!
