Farm Accident Digest

What funny timing. For months the governor had been holding back $127,000,000 in education funds supposedly because the budget couldn't handle it. The big issue for most of the state in Tuesday's elections were bond issues for the various school districts to cover the losses from cuts that could be filled by these funds. Well, looky what suddenly became available today, just a few days after the votes in which most bond issues passed.

Gov. Bob Holden announced today that he was releasing $127 million in previously withheld funds for public schools and higher education institutions.

Friday announcement. Friday, holiday weekend, announcement. Very nicely done.

I think most of the local bond issues failed, didn't they?

I'm pretty sure I read most of them did. I know ours did by a landslide.
