HB-1325, introduced late last week, sets up a legislative committee to study the school finance act. I am familiar with government overkill, but this one goes way over the top. Sure, the governor thinks it is nothing to create a lottery to give away $5 million in a lottery for vaccines, but this bill even tops that for government waste of taxpayer dollars. This bill sets up an interim committee 
to study school finance and it authorizes the committee to spend $90 million dollars from the education fund. I couldn’t believe it when I first read it, but on page six of the latest version of the bill,  it says spend $90 Million for the study.

This has to be the best example of what’s wrong with school finance in Colorado. Hang on to your pocket book as this bill is already through the House and heading to the Senate. And you can bet the answer will be that you and I are not paying enough taxes…
