About A Matter of Opinion
This is the blog of the Dayton Daily News editorial page. Regular contributors include the journalists who work on the two-page section labeled "Opinions" in the paper. But the blog is also a forum for readers. We comment on subjects that are being written about in the newspaper, but other subjects are fair game, too.
Ellen Belcher is the Dayton Daily News opinion pages editor. She writes about state government, education, the environment, higher education and all things Dayton.
Martin Gottlieb is an editorial writer and columnist for the Dayton Daily News opinion pages. He focuses on the political process itself and does such national issues as war, the economy, taxes and Social Security, as well as a hodge-podge of local and state issues.
Scott Elliott is an editorial writer and columnist for the Dayton Daily News opinion pages. He writes about education, city and suburban issues, politics, business, workforce and consumer issues.

John Kerry for secretary of state? Howard Dean for secretary of health and human services? Paul Volker for treasury secretary? Those are some of the names being floated for cabinet positions in the upcoming Obama administration. It’s about all anyone can talk about when it comes to national politics right now.
One unexpected name being whispered for an unexpected job is Colin Powell for secretary of education. But is this a good idea?
Over at the DDN’s Get on the Bus education blog, I take a shot at answering that question.
