Lottery Funds used in Public Schools

It has come to my attention that a group of citizens are opposing the use of lottery funds in the public schools of our state. With all due respect, I must ask if these citizens are aware of the fact that our schools rank second lowest in the nation? Though the lottery proves profitable for some and not for others playing the lottery is only legal for those 18 and older. Citizens 18 and older are considered …showed first 75 words of 458 total…

…showed last 75 words of 458 total…from the lottery are legal how then should we deprive the state’s schools from the funding that they so desperately need?

I urge this institution and the people of this great state to stand up for their rights and defend the use of lottery funds in our schools.
