Teachers union folks to meet Tuesday evening with Democrats

Proponents of The Education Initiative, a k a the margin tax, will meet Tuesday evening with wary legislative Democrats about the ballot initiative that could drive turnout next year.

I'm told the union folks plan to be sober but not threatening, urging the Democrats, some flying to Las Vegas from the North, to get on board because of polling data that indicates it could pass.

The Democrats, who have a vacancy in the top race and a couple of female Danish princesses in the lieutenant governor's contest, may see the tax to pay for education as a way to energize the base. Or they may, as I have previously reported, continue to cower.

I'll have more Wednesday on the meeting at state Democratic Party headquarters.
