Meet Mr. Arza

In four short years, state Rep. Ralph Arza has gone from schoolteacher to powerful politician, and now he's about to take control of public education in Miami

Respected Miami attorney H.T. Smith, a member of the superintendent search committee, dismisses Arza's comments as being "like a Chinese language I don't comprehend." Arza, he insists, will have no effect on the committee's recommendation.

"Unbelievable!" remarks another member of the committee. "Who does this guy think he is?"
