Lottery Funding Lies
The Lottery in North Carolina isn't even in place, and ALREADY Governor Mike Easley is showing what I completely predicted would happen -- the cash from the lottery absolutely WILL replace current funding, allowing the government to expand spending everywhere else BUT education. The North Carolina lottery, just like every other state-sponsored gambling, was sold on total and complete lies.
So, while spending from the general fund will increase for education (education spending will NEVER, EVER decrease), more than $1 billion from the education lottery is planned to REPLACE current projected levels of spending.

Sherri Johnson, told The Charlotte Observer: "Next year's budget will clearly show education funding from the general fund going up."

Democrats in North Carolina, I don't understand why you so strongly support such blatant liars as those who lead your party.

We got that line in Cali years back when they started the lottery here.
Lottery money replaced state funds for education, education didn't improve, in fact, the quality dropped, taxes didn't go down, and I still haven't won the lottery. Of course, I would probably need to play it first but, I am white, speaka' de eengles and have all mu teeth, dadgummit, so I wouldn't ever win it anyway.

That's the way it has happened every single time, without exception, that a lottery has been implemented. And keep in mind, the people running education systems now freely admit when they are asked how much money they need that the answer will ALWAYS be "MORE."
