This is from todays paper:
"Lingle plans to cut the current school year's budget by $90 million and then replace it with federal stimulus funds. And then, in 2010 and and 2011, the governor plans to do the same thing with $9.2 million and $13.1 million in federal stabilization funds."
For the first time in my life I was so appalled and (very) angry at an elected office that I actually took the time to write to the governor and express my opinions.
I see this as stealing money from Hawaii's children. The schools budget should not be cut and they should be allowed to use the $90 million dollars on top of the current budget to improve our education system.(IMHO)
I am posting this here only to urge those who feel the same to write to the governor to express your opinions.
