The people of this state specifically and of this country in general do not value anything about public education. Our states consitution states that it is the "paramount duty" of the legislature to provide for "basic ed". Well common sense dictates that at least 51% of the budget would go to education. Since 1977 the legislature has been bogged down defining what "paramount" and "basic" is.

Local schools should be able to collect more money locally and not rely on the state.
