“For the children” is actually “for the unions”.

Good try but we are non union. But the prop. was crazy as it would have allowed a judge to say what each school district would be able to spend. The prop. was poorly worded and actually deceptive as it did not mention it would have reworded the state constitution. It would have eliminated the word legislature and substituted the word “state” as far as who got to decide the education budget. Lots of money behind the prop. but thank God we defeated it.

Initiative 42 was based upon the same template as was Obamacare. It was a tax to raid the State treasury disguised as a school funding measure. The ultimate decision was going to be left to a black Obama supporter Judge in Hines County, Mississippi.

The state spends the same amount per pupil regardless of what county they’re in. A sparsely populated county receives less from the state. The counties also appropriate money to the schools in their county. I live in DeSoto County and we get 180M from the state plus the schools in Desoto County get 60M from the county foe a total of 240M. Most counties do not add as much per student as we do. Under 42 a judge could rule that students get more funding in DeSoto county than less prosperous counties and under 42 a judge could cut the state funding per pupil in DeSoto County to make school funding more fair and to keep our education funding where it is we would have to either raise our taxes or decrease what is being spent per student in our county.
