State needs to keep its promise and fund education

IN SUNDAY'S AZ REPUBLIC...

State Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is critical of her fellow legislators in a "My Turn" column in today's (May 30) Arizona Republic.  She points out that we voters overwhelmingly approved a state sales tax increase a year ago with the understanding that the funds raised were to go to education and other vital state services.  She writes:

"These leaders who asked voters to support Prop. 100 but then failed to fully fund schools - all the while handing out tax cuts for corporations and special interests - broke their promises.  Public schools and our higher education system have already suffered devastating cuts."
