Governor's Budget Introduced

Do you want the good news or the bad news??? The good news is that the Governor's budget (remember it is only a request/plan, the legislature sets the budget) tries to infuse enough one time money to keep education funding stable and pay for the growth (you know those thousands of little guys coming into the school system). The bad news (not unexpected with the revenue shortfalls) is no sight of increases in any wpu, no money for supplies, and no one time funding (where we had received a lot of technology, media, etc. funding in the past). UEA's lobby team is meeting as I write this to strategize and work on a plan to remind the legislature of the priority of public school funding in our state. Stay tuned...See you back on the ground Monday. To enter Dec.'s contest email me with the words San Jose Sharks in the message (they beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2, my first NHL game) thanks again for all you do. rick @ogdenweber.org
