We need another State Proposition for more money for the schools. /s How much lottery money do they get too?

Well, Texas did just that and added $3.9 Million back into the school fund in this legislative session. New tax breaks for business but no rebate on the property tax for we common folk, the vast majority of which also go to support schools.

About 27 percent of our lottery funds go to support schools. Yes, our state is among those that is solvent but dumping more money into schools is, IMO, not going to improve public education in Texas one iota.
