Underheim - $32,000 v Burmaster - $200,000
"For several years after he graduated from college, Underheim was a high school English teacher in Caledonia, Minn., near his hometown of La Crosse. "I spent my life correcting five-paragraph essays, and I didn't want to do that," he says. So he quit."
"In running for state superintendent of public instruction, Underheim can be seen as combining something he likes (politics) and something he doesn't (he's very critical of much of the educational establishment and specifically of the state Department of Public Instruction, which he would head if he won). And his candidacy can be seen as showing how he doesn't get discouraged easily. After all, he ran for superintendent in 1997 and didn't make it past the primary."
