KEV'S VIEW (cartoon commentary): Education vs. Prison Funding
2008 – 2009 Florida State Budget: Cuts to Education, Concessions to Crime
(May 8, 2008)
*Though the current fiscal health of the state may be characterized as desperate, and in desperate times you counter with desperate measures, in the case of this budget those desperate measures have yielded a casualty that we certainly can not afford: education.
Budget cuts are a necessary evil in this challenging economy, however, what long term benefits do we offer future generations when we compromise the very education that will one day enable them to be productive contributors to our economy?
Contrary to the philosophy of “no child left behind”, when counting state dollars, clearly it is the children and youth of Florida that are effectually being counted out. Richard McCulloch
