Governor Ritter (D) wants to cut education in Colorado. Article 23 says there must be an increase in education spending each year. Colorado is growing as a state, making classroom sizes larger, yet he wants to cut the budget by 5%. On top of that, state employees will also see smaller paychecks...that would be our teachers (you can only hope your union fights to keep your pay the same next year).

Oh, and do you remember how he wanted to provide FREE, yes FREE college to ILLEGAL immigrants just earlier this year. So let me get this right...we are going to cut our education system by 5% for all of our tax paying citizens, whose children attend our public schools. They will have higher class sizes, reduced amount of teachers, cut back on fundings meaning less supplies, less books, less field trips, less sports, less band (shcools will have to decide where to cut back), yet Bill Ritter wants to hand over our hard earned dollars to the hands of ILLEGAL immigrants so they can get a college education. tell me the sense in that. I see none.
So how is it that Bill Ritter can raise the cost of our gas tax, raise the cost of the registration fees WE pay each year on our vehicles (all of which he told us would stop any cuts from being made) as well as making state employees taking mandatory furlough days (He has done all the above this year).
Yet Barack Obama wants to see our school system go to a year long schedule. (I hope our teachers enjoyed getting paid the same or less for 2 extra months of work).
Next year Bill Ritter is running for office (2010). I hope you make the right move and vote him out of office. He is going to destroy this state. Education should be on the top priority for any elected offical because that is what keeps our country going strong and moving forward. How could we possibly move forward with renewable energy if we lacked the education to develop such technology.
It is time for change. Bill Ritter needs to be replaced from the Governors office of Colorado.
