An Easley Education
$200 million dollars. That's the sum that has been taken out of the Education Fund by Governor Easley and is to be "reimbursed" by lottery proceeds the state will (future tense) realize. How on the face of this green and blue planet does Easley explain this, after assuring us this lottery money is going to add to what we have on educational spending, not supplant it?
Our state auditor, Les Merritt, one of the few Republicans serving our state office, has asked the Governor for an accounting of where the education money growth will go.
"Easley officials said they will show at budget time this spring where the additional money will go." For the Winston-Salem article on this click here.
This, I predict, will only get worse, but don't expect the liberal newspapers in our major cities to cover it with any consistency. By and by, I'll give you links to those monitoring it. I leave you with this quote: "In all likelihood, the public was hoodwinked," said Elaine Mejia, the director of the North Carolina Budget and Tax Center in Raleigh.
