Editorial: Quit starving the schools
Is the editor correct that the Legislature should follow state law and provide inflation adjustments on school funding? Yes. Could he say it in a way that's simple and direct enough for the legislators to understand? One would think so. So why doesn't he? Why, whenever he's compelled to criticize Republicans, does he resort to this mealy-mouthed we'll-see crap?

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:
There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.
If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.
If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
Steven, this editorial falls under you "have a point" rule. It kind of seems like the 1,000 word paper in high school, it contains 1,000 words but says nothing. I will say something. The recession has hit me and family hard, we are holding on, but barely. Within that context, I would still support raising my taxes to improve education in AZ. I believe the legislature is doing all it can to starve public education, and push kids into charter and religous schools. But, as a state and a nation, without quality public education, we are doomed. It ain't cheap, but it is worth it.
