What happens with our budget in education will not have the results most of us want unless we ALL speak up. Please let our legislators and the Governor know your opinions about the proposed 10%, or any, budget cuts to education in South Dakota. I have contacted them and I am asking you to do the same.
I will not elaborate too much here except for the belief that we do not HAVE to make this budget deficit correction in our state by hurting all the people who live here. Who goes into debt over a period of time and fixes the problem in one day? I have been in debt and have WORKED my way out of that debt with a plan to do so over a period of time. I made cut backs I could live with. I continued to pay my ongoing bills, I ate, and I even enjoyed my life! Can't our legislators figure out how to make a similar plan? Don't our legislators who we elect have enough creative thinking and backbone to stand up to our governor's proposed cuts?
Come on, let's get realistic about what we can live with and make those changes without making devastating education cuts which we will suffer from for many years while losing great educators as well. In my opinion, we cannot afford to make any cuts to education if we want to be true to our children and their futures.
Please speak up and support education in South Dakota!
