Should we be allowed to have another vote on the lotto, or both lotto and casino gambling.

We had the lottery in Georgia and the revenue did great things for our school children and our highway system. I won't go into AL roads - but I was in SHOCK when I enrolled my child in school in AL and got my first school supply list. Paper towels? Batteries? Tissues? Soap? Hand sanatizer? Chalk? Dry Erase markers? WHAT the HECK??? I thought we payed taxes to buy this stuff? Apparently not enough taxes because my property taxes here are 1/3 of what they were in GA. Is that worth having woefully underfunded schools? We are going to have to do something. Public education is supposed to be paid for by all of the people of a community and "free" to the students. It is surely not that way here. I paid over $300 in school supplies so far for this 2006-2007 school year and I'm sure there will be more to come. A lottery would be great, as long as the money truly went to something beneficial, like education. Given our lawmakers' history of fiscal responsibility, I doubt it though.

I noticed your mention of property taxes in Ga. vs Al. Just wait! Riley sighed an executive order 3 years ago to allow property taxes to go up every year. Mine have doubled since his term in office. He had the audasity to get on TV this last campaign and say he lowered taxes. Riley is a LIAR ! THe truth is not in him. Lucy promised to reverse that order if she had been elected gov., but apparantelly the good people of this state wanted the higher taxes of Riley.
