Libs pledge private school funding labor defends private school employees «I think the biggest problem with privatization, I th해운대출장마사지ink, is the cost to the taxpayers, the taxpayers’ money. There are so many issues that we’re facing that we need better funding for education. So much of the funding that was used to fund schools in the 1970s was borrowed and that money could have been used instead of public dollars. So it’s always important to say that schools are a public right. And there are all kinds of problems.»
A bill to create a special fund for «researchers, policy experts, educators» at public universities would reduce the state’s budget deficit, said a study sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute and the American Association for Justice (AAFJ) which was released this month.
