Use state lottery funds for college scholarships
Revolutionary concept? Not if you are a taxpayer.
Increasing our tax burden by $9.6 million to $21.3 million per year is not the silver bullet needed to give our graduating seniors a college education.
We should look to our neighbor to the south, and use the "Educational Lottery" for the purpose it was meant for.
Let the millions from our lottery put our graduating seniors through community college, not the backs of taxpaying citizens.
