1) Re: 2012 House Bill 2533 (Prioritizing expenditures for K-12 education within the state appropriations process) by kmortland on January 18, 2012This is a good start. But funding education first, without the commitment to fund education adequately, improve little. Indeed, it may cause legislators to be uncommonly cautious and to underfund education, while looking toward unknown needs of other programs.
Underfunding education first solves nothing.
