Wrong. Tennessee literally has more money than they know what to do with for education. The big dilemma is whether to spend it on pre-K or higher ed.

How much of that came from the lottery? Is there a website to see those numbers maybe? If they are getting these folks to actually keep their promises, I wish they'd teach other states with the lottery to do the same. Pocket padding is a natural outcome IF you you are dealing with corrupt state govs and/or corruption associated with gambling, lottery, whatever. JMHO
