A Decline of 5%: "The Bottom Has Dropped Out"

According to a new report from one of the state's non-profit organizations, New Mexico’s public schools are finally having to do what the private sector has been doing for years.......make do with less money. Using hyperbolic language to describe what amounts to a 5% decline in funding during an era when industries like construction have seen 70% of their budgets and their jobs disappear, spokesman Gerry Bradley of New Mexico Voices for Children said, “The bottom has dropped out of the state’s public education budget.” What is Bradley's solution to the challenges? Better resource management by highly compensated bureaucrats in the public education monoply? Surely you jest. No, Bradley wants to increase taxes. You can read the entire report here: News New Mexico
