Having worked in the
governor's office in two different administrations, I can tell you that
calls and letters are tracked and counted. I can't speak for what happens in
Governor Ventura's office but in prior administrations those calls didn't go
unnoticed. In fact, telephone calls were more effective because they were more
easily logged and tallied. My experience pre-dates the emergence of e-mail
communications (seems funny to think how recent that really was), so I don't
know how that works.
Karen's point,
however, is apt. Address your concerns, pro or con, to the Department also.
While you're at it, pass them on the Senate and House education committee
chairs.

To all of you who are determined to change the Governor's education budget
allocation, you should be addressing your concerns to his Commissioner,
Christine Jax. I doubt deluging the Governor's office with phone calls will
get you very far.
