(The Party of Ideas at work. - promoted by Eric B.)
Remember how the governor put so much emphasis on attracting immigrants to the state as a way to kickstart the economy? (Never mind that we have apparently given up on trying to make it attractive to those of us who actually grew up here.) Based on his budget proposal, though, one might get the impression that his priorities, shall we say, lie elsewhere... Synder's proposed budget has REAL financial consequences to our schools: ... Eliminates the total funding for the bilingual education grants - $2.8 million
Not a very auspicious start. And the legislature hasn't exactly put out the welcome mat either with its own version (HB 4305) of Arizona's harsh anti-immigrant law. Somehow, I doubt foreign entrepreneurs will flock here in the droves Snyder seems to hope for. |
