the bait they used in 1990 to replace taxes used to fund education. Then they set the hook and lottery proceeds are put back in the General Fund and mixed, muddled, and stirred to replace a bunch of state income.

Trust me, when you talk to the new entries to the state, they are looking to shelter their income and pay no taxes. Now we have pretty much unlimited development and no money to pay for any of it.

It's what 20 years of repukes have served for lunch .

fuck, I gotta get outa here, none of it's making any sense.
