[...] In order to show the direct impact of potential cuts to school districts if Proposition 100 fails, Governor Brewer’s office recently released a report that provides a district-by-district estimate of the impact of legislative budget cuts on Arizona school districts for the 2010-11 school year. The report shows both the cuts that will occur if Proposition 100 passes and the estimates of additional cuts for each school district if Proposition 100 fails on May 18. If Proposition 100 fails, traditional public schools can expect a total funding cut of $748,775,148. Public charter schools can expect a $63,663,047 total funding cut.

Would you please tell me when Proposition 100 goes into effect. I totally support the Proposition and voted for it. I am unsure when the new tax goes into effect.
Thank you for a prompt reply.

Prop 100 conundrum:
I voted yes … begrudingly.

As a strong advocate of quality education in our state, the vote on Prop 100 is surprisingly difficult for me. I believe that investment in the education of our children is paramount to a quality future for all Arizonians. My problem is giving more money to the state to administer on our behalf for the education of our children. I feel like it is strikingly similar to seeing undernourished children and my only option is to give money to their crack-head parents and hoping that they actually buy food with it.

Living in Arizona for some 35 plus years I remember when the lottery was going to fix education and the tobacco lawsuit, not to mention tobacco taxes, was going to fix healthcare and here we are with both in shambles. I have no faith in our legislature, locally or nationally, as accountability for both seems to be non existent.

As I sit here congress is “interviewing” the Goldman Sachs people and I have watched similar dog and pony shows for the banks and the automakers. I have no idea what good comes out of any of this. I agree we need some answers on many of these topics. My question is when do we get to sit in the big chairs and grill our representatives about the crap that they pull … but I digress.
