Gibbons-Education FIrst Now Education Last..


Gibbons may keep his word on NO NEW TAXES but he doesn't keep his word of EDUCATION FIRST-
A lightweight gov. in all aspects, he is is equal only to Dan Quayle in the brain cell department.
A perfect example of the Political Machine's ability to put ANYONE in office if they campaign to a certain lowest common denominator-greed-in big business, corporations, gaming and mining.

It is a theory I thought only possible on the grandest scale-i.e. George Bush-but it is obvious, we have little threads of brain dead light weights woven into our country's government.
Or-my other theory-is this the best we can do-nowadays?
If it is, as an educator, I promise to work even harder to teach my students not just the three "R's" but more civics and common sense.



Governor Jim Gibbons signed Assembly Bill 627 into law on Wednesday, June 6th during a signing ceremony at Bernice Martin Mathews Elementary School. The governor signed the education budget bill at the same elementary school where the Education First Initiative was launched in 2003. Nevada voters approved Education First overwhelmingly in 2004 and 2006, and it is now a part of the Nevada Constitution.
Placing our children's education first as a state priority has proven to be a vital policy that protects the interests of our children and our state�s education system," Governor Gibbons said.
AB 627 provides nearly to $2.2 billion in K-12 funding over the next biennium, and represents an historic 18% increase over previous funding levels
