Today's 'Quotable and Notable'

7.29.2009

Quotable

"As much as I love accolades that have come to me, it's just not me. What it amounts to is $1,000 for extra resources now or $50,000 a year in jail when they can't find jobs and turn to crime. It's an investment, and that's necessary." --Julie Williams, Principal, Maplewood High School, Nashville, TN
