Another Reason Why I Will Be Holding My Nose at the Ballot Box

From the Duncan Banner:

Askins and Fallin both noted that without additional revenue to offset SQ 744, it would cause hardship on other state services, such as law enforcement, and also the military bases. Lamb, Corn, Baressi and Paddack also indicated that with a projected $1 billion plus revenue shortfall, SQ 744 isn’t something that will work at this time. They did all agree that more funding is needed, but not in the manner proposed.

As many of you who read this probably realize, I am VERY STRONGLY against State Question 744. I'm glad to see that both gubernatorial candidates are coming out against it.

However, what they can't seem to grasp is that increases in education spending DO NOT WORK. It appears to me that they would support such a measure if the State's books were solvent. So does that mean that all candidates who attended that forum support delegating the decision making for our state's budget to the legislatures of other surrounding states?
