I thought the governor was fighting for public education, and she was in bi-partisan talks trying to come up with a workable budget. I don't really understand how this morphed into a one-sided budget that goes back to the cuts she first vetoed. What happened? What was that original veto about if she capitulates now? And how is this a balanced budget if, even with the addition of a sales increase, there's still a 7-figure deficit? I feel like I went to bed one night optimistic, and awoke the next day in a living nightmare. These people in Phoenix are destroying our state. I am having a hard time understanding the logic here...
