Everyone acts like we have such a great public school system even before the furloughs and financial issues, we don't. It appears that most families are concerned with daily "child care" and education is not a problem. When will people realize the government is not responsible for raising your kids, you are. The government ultimately is not responsible for educating your kids, again you are. Quit playing the victim and grow up.

Once the Hurricane fund has been used for this band-aid fix for this year. What fund will be used next for the next fix?, and so on and so on til we either run out of funds to raid or til the recession ends sometime soon. It appears niether is a win-win situation for all concerned. It's become very apparent the government has no clue that we do know what their doing. Use of the children as the victim of the state is getting old. Alternatives and compromises are what is needed. Dispense with the blame game and look for them.

Is Lingle suggesting that she will allow the fund to raided after the threat of hurricane season passes?

That is irresponsible.

Any surplus that the goverment collects is a representation of over-taxation. It should be returned to those who paid into the fund.

If it is used to pay unions, it is the same as increasing taxes because one day the huricane relief fund will need to be replenished!
