Dont see how funneling more money to the state will fix anything. My family, including an out of work Teacher all voted no. When ever the state blows the budget they cut Teachers, Fire fighters, Police ... and wail to high heavens for more money. Oddly, local school still have an abundance of Administrators and I haven't heard anything about cutting their positions or salaries. Only seem to make cuts in the classroom.
Raising taxes will definitely hurt the economy and I doubt it would do a bit of good for the schools. Call me cynical but not thanks!
