Our state VOTED to raise sales taxes temporarily to halt teacher layoffs and/or other education cuts. Why couldn’t other states do the same?

Were the photo-op teachers laid-off teachers? Where are these laid off teachers?

I would not pay a dime in taxes to "avoid teacher layoffs" because there is way too much deadwood in education budgets and laying off teachers is only the government's way of punishing the taxpayers instead of tightening their own belts. How about they trim 99.9% of all those adminstrative positions that add so much quality to public education first?
