I can understand, on some level, not wanting to promote gambling in any form for a variety of ethical and moral reasons. But shutting down the lottery because it's not earning enough money seems like a sure fire way to make sure there's even less money available for education in the short term. I think there's another part of the problem that should be looked at first.

It was supposed to be EXTRA edumacation money....

The Okie elect...bit on the prediction numbers bait...and, of course, like has happened in other states..( CA ) They then, like drunken teenage kids with dad's car keys decided in their infinite wisdom to spend "that money" elsewhere...without having it first. Now they are in a pickle.

Of course the edumacation/NEA okies are now demanding MORE funding....

It's also a sure fire way to elect a Democratic government in a Republican state, a la South Carolina.
