Schools need accountability, not Permanent Fund raids

This may not be a surprise, but there's a serious disconnect between the proposed state budget and the results we're seeing in education. The proposed budget calls for $3.3 billion for education, a full 45 percent of the entire budget and 4 percent increase from last fiscal year.

Maybe some accountability for the dollars spent is a good idea before raiding the educational endowment fund for more. Click HERE for a breakdown of the budget.
