"The state constitution says that the state must cherish public education. From this language, it is obvious that the founding fathers meant that educational funding should be controlled by the state and supported by broad-based, statewide taxation. Given this clear mandate from the state constitution, I applaud the Governor's new tax plan."

Are we sure this isn't a late April Fool's joke?

Probably only a perception thing....you come home and see what a police state we live in and it hits you fresh.
