Gone Hollywood?

A film crew brought some bright lights to the Capitol this morning. They were filming on the south side of the Rotunda.

But, alas, it was for the small screen.

It was part of an ad campaign being prepared by the St. Paul-based Bush Foundation. Spokesman Scott Cooper says its a cooperative effort with 14 higher education institutions, promoting education careers.

"With all that's going on, you know," said Cooper, the profession could use some promotional help for prospective teachers. He said the ad will feature people in various settings talking about the importance of teachers in their lives.

Look for ads in May.
