Bob is right about promises not being kept in reference to gaming money in state budgets. Time and time again, the focus has been shifted, or, if the money does stay dedicated to education, other funding for education is cut or diverted. To my knowledge, my former state of Georgia is one of the few that has actually kept the promise, and popular uprisings on at least two occasions were required to prevent the legislative and executive branches from raiding the lottery fund for pet projects.
Erlinda's post about DHHL being in line for money from at least one gaming bill is telling. We all know what a paragon of efficiency and good governance that organization is. People die on their waiting lists, and insider contracts at double or triple the actual project cost seem to be all too common.
Remember Pandora's Box!
