On the related side of this issue... McBride wants to spend all
this money but I cannot locate a source for these funds except from each taxpayers pcokets. Just how much will all this "EDucation" spending cost ? Just a logical question. k2afe

McBride won't be able to get any money out of the legislature and the incoming Speaker has already said any spending necessary will come out of funds already available - taxes will absolutely not be raised and any new spending will come out of other projects/programs. OTOH, if Bush is reelected he'll be able to twist arms in the (very Republican) legislature and all bets are off.
