Wasn't the lottery here in Oklahoma suppose to cut out any additional taxes, or spending by the state and local governments for schools? I believe that was one of the major selling points of the lottery here in Oklahoma. I do agree that we should be spending just as much on our kids as any other state in the Union. But, this proposal doesn't show how it's going to be funded, and states that we will bring our per child spending up to the same level as surrounding states. I disagree with sq744. We need to find a way to get our school systems up to par without major tax increases or cutbacks in other areas.
