[ Rant ]
So in my state they had some money proposed in the budget as usual to spend on technology in schools. It has somehow been attached to a bill that would require any and all technology funding for schools to be contributed by the revenue from slot machines. Here's the thing, voters have already said NO to the damn machines once. So now the proposed budget is $0 funding for technology in schools unless it comes from slots. Way to blackmail! I hate our fucking corrupt government.

Michigan plays a game along those line. When ever they want something to pass they say the money is going to the schools and yes they do use all that money for the school but at the same time the cut the school budgets about the same amount of money from other taxes.

Illinois did that. The proposed riverboat gambling to "supplement" the state funds provided to the schools. They got the gambling, gave that money to the schools, and promptly reduced other state funding.
I don't even think party or state matters ... none of the bums are any good.

Lilith,
Sorry to learn that the funding of your technology in schools budget has been made conditional on a discredited revenue source. It must be very frustrating. Hopefully that will change for the better soon.

Lil,
Our politicians are experts at bunching popular and unpopular things into one legal package.
They talk up the good bits and hope most won't see the crap buried in the legislation.
