State treasurer: Federal education funds on hold (Arizona)

PHOENIX - Arizona is having to borrow money because the U.S. Department of Education is imposing new requirements for the state to get stimulus funds, Treasurer Dean Martin is charging.

"What Arizona has received is endless bureaucratic red tape and constantly changing rules to delay access to funds,'' he said Wednesday. The result, said Martin, is Arizona doesn't have use of $433 million it should have had by now.

States need to figure a way to keep tax money from ever leaving.

Why send it off just to be extorted to get some back, really?

This has to do with Senator Kyle who wants to redirect the rest of the stimulus money to deficit reduction, health care, or cover other spending and this is retribution. I think more Senators should do this since it’s what Mark Sanford was fighting for before he went to Argentina.

Actually it is more reminiscent of a couple of Al Capone's thugs dropping off some pictures of you with the neighbor's wife...

If he can do it to a U.S. Senator, how hard will it be to do it to us?

That’s about $80/Arizonan. I’d be willing to pay my share to foil Obama’s thuggery.

States that are that attached to the federal tit were already in trouble IMO.

Stop all funds to illegals be it school or medical. Verify all retirement or welfare payments. No more dead people on the payroll etc

Cut state funded projects that aren't essential to infrastructure.

If every state does not have a plan to reduce costs an has not implemented it by now they are suicidal an need a kick in the butt to get moving

Martin said he sees the changes in education funding, along with those letters, as just another part of the pressure being brought on Arizona.

"It's becoming clear that the administration is holding education funding hostage to bully Arizona into submission,'' he said. "This is taxpayer money, not the administration's personal piggy bank.''

This is (Chicago-style) politics, not beanbag.

I'll never understand the insanity of states' residents sending tax dollars to the federal government, only to have the feds turn around and send the money back to the states, after skimming a good portion off the top of course.

How idiotic and tragic it was for the states to pass the 16th amendment.

Great idea....no one from Arizona send one dime of tax money to DC...send it to their state capitol.

If they fired all the union slugs, let any college grad teach, and go back to the 3 R’s, they wouldn’t need the money and they’d get better results.

A real live object lesson on what not to do for your cause.

Most of them can be blackmailed. I still remember the Clintons and the media shooting down Gingrich and Bob Livingston like ducks.

IIRC, AZ has a bill pending(not sure of status) that would exempt it from any Federal health care scheme.

Could that become a SCOTUS issue?
