Sick and tired of what your state legislature is doing to education with its draconian budget cuts?
Today's (Jan. 31) Arizona Republic reveals a new public awareness initiative by retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to draw attention to Arizona's constitutional mandate to support education.
Called the Arizona Education Commitment, the group of community and business leaders is asking lawmakers to look for revenue sources instead of just making cuts to balance the state budget.
"Organizers plan to raise awareness through a website, ads and a word-of-mouth effort encouraging people to contact their legislators," writes Reporter Anne Ryman.
