You can email your questions about school finance and equity for answer on the air to ECRadio@EquityCenter.org.
Today Dr. Wayne Pierce begins the first installment of his interview with the Executive Director of the Center for Public Policy Priorities(“CPPP”), F. Scott McCown. For the decade of the 90s and until 2002, when he retired from the bench to lead the CPPP, McCown was the state district court judge who presided over all of the Texas’ public school finance cases, giving him the nickname the “Edgewood” Judge and turning him into one of, if not the most, knowledgeable experts in the field of school finance law.
Today’s interviewee was called by Texas Monthly magazine the voice of the voiceless and the conscience of Texas politics.
We are sure you will enjoy this timely and lively interview.
We are certainly pleased to have Judge McCown on our show.

Judge F. Scott McCown
