Florida State Scams

Nice article (though very regional) by the Palm Beach Post saying that the Class Size amendment that voters passed last November is being turned by Lawmakers into another lottery scam in Florida.

Way back in the day, Floridians approved of a lottery to help increase funding for schools. Instead of increasing funding, they took funds away from schools and made the income of the lottery as the standard income to pay for Education, scamming millions of Florida voters and dumbing down the state.

Now Jeb is saying the Class Size Amendment will keep teachers from getting higher salaries… This is sidestepping the fact there is so little state infrastructure to pay salaries as is. It’s also sidestepping the issue that many floridians want better funding for schools and that Jeb and those in the State Senate and State House have not delievered that through their bare bones budget tactics of the past 5 years.

The entire Class Size Ammendment was a voter attempt to get the state to put education in a higher regard on their budgets. But the Republican controlled Florida government doesn’t think they should jeopardize business and personal growth for the sake of the future and our children. Great bunch of guys that were voted into office, huh?
