- Wait, What?: "Linking to a Wait, What? blog post about GNEPSA, Lockhart, on his blog entitled Political Capitol, shines a bright light on the StudentsFirst connection writing “what’s interesting is while GNEPSA is a new name in what some have called the “education reform alphabet soup,” it’s not. As others have also pointed out, GNEPSA’s filing with the Office of State Ethics lists seven in-house lobbyists on GNEPSA’s payroll with email addresses linking them to another group –California-based StudentsFirst. And one of those lobbyists is StudentsFirst’s founder, Michelle Rhee.”
Lockhart adds “I’m just wondering why StudentsFirst decided to create a new group – GNEPSA. Are there legal and/or organizational reasons? Or is there some concern the StudentsFirst brand has been a bit tainted in Connecticut? And isn’t this all a bit too confusing? And did they actually mean “Greater” – not “Great” – New England in their name?"
