Yep Henry, pretty much every State already use lotteries (state run gambling) to help fund their school system and things haven't gone to hell and a hand basket. This would just expand the current state of things.

Don't lotteries fund schools? Aren't lotteries gambling?

Is it just me or does it seems wrong to legalize gambling to pay for schools? It's very short-sided. I'm voting against this and can't fathom why teachers are such strong supporters of something that will hurt communities in the long term. It's the Walmart effect.
