I can't not speak out against what is a raid on education funds. |
I think most everybody is committed. |
I think putting $500 million out there with the needs that we now have is like taking a switch to a gun fight. |
If I'm wrong for fighting for the children of Alabama and fighting for the teachers of Alabama, then I'm wrong. The people voted for the income tax and they voted for the money to go to education. If he wants to make that change he ought to be asking the people if they want to make that change. |
Obviously that 51 percent, judging on what has happened, were right. |
Theoretically, they still have time to do it, but from a practical standpoint, I don't think they are going to let it happen. |
There's a lot of people making lots of profit today, but it's not the school children of Alabama. |
This is one of the better budgets I have seen. I know there's support for tax cuts, but I don't want to see the money come from schools. |
This raise is just keeping up the purchasing power of those people who deserve it. |
We could have another economic downturn. We need to maintain a reserve. |
