We were told that we should approve the Lotto because that money would be used to fix our public education system and improve our roads.
Then we were told that we should vote to raise sales taxes because we needed that money for education and to fix our roads.
Then we were told that we should okay casino gambling because the money raised from that would be used to fix our education system and, of course, to improve our roads.
Then they raised the tax on gasoline and the fees on vehicle registration to improve our roads.
Then we legalized recreational and/or medical marijuana and were told the revenue raised by taxing marijuana sales would be used to improve our public education system...
After all that, our public education system is one of the worst in the world and our students consistently score in the bottom half in math and science, they tell us that our roads and bridges are crumbling and other public projects are in danger of failing.
Now they are telling us we need 3.5 trillion dollars, that's 3,500,000,000,000.00 to fix our infrastructure and improve our public school system.
Hmmm...
