" Florida's state employee pension fund announced it was buying up all of Edison's stock and taking the company private --- for a cool $174 million. That's got to be the shrewdest investment the fund has made since it bought millions of shares of Enron just as the company entered its death spiral --- including 1.3 million shares just two weeks before the company declared bankruptcy. As the St. Pete Times aptly noted yesterday, this gives "Florida the distinction of being essentially the sole owner of the nation's largest and perhaps most financially imperiled school management business." The three member board of trustees of the fund is chaired by Florida Governor Jeb Bush." talkingpointsmemo.com >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Awhile back, I heard the Edison school was a disaster financially.
