Applying to the CCSE or CCELL….an extension of the application date will not produce more applicants…but serious outreach to communities affected and personal recruitment will. Putting something up on the internet as the sole outreach effort is not effective. Otherwise every other politician in the country would be doing it. Getting elected is a long hard slog. Recruiting people to make that long hard slog is even more intense. I think it is just a way to keep parents at bay and to mollify the State Assembly people…heaven knows, they have enough trouble staying out of jail and keeping their fingers out of the Racino cookie jar.
