State schools Superintendent Kathy Cox has 3 billion reasons to hate Perdue

Cox wants the state to raise ... prices for Lottery Tickets. Just 50 cents would generate $350 million.

$350 MILLION. That's just about equal to what Perdue 'borrowed' from next year to plug this years stream of red ink.

How about cutting Perdue's Horse Barn project costing $9 million, to be built, you guessed it, in Perdue's back yard. Houston County.

Or cutting Perdue's $10 million to help pay for the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.

Or as funny as it is, paying off some debt? Georgia pays a cool billion in interest every year. That's over 5 percent of the budget. How did we get so far in debt with 'fiscal conservatives' like Perdue and Cagle running the government?

Nope. Obama borrowed and spent all that money.

Plus things like $47 million in new spending for OneGeorgia. OneGeorgia has one Sonny Perdue on its board. Maybe we should question the number of jobs being created by OneGeorgia. They claim to be creating 5 new jobs. Just beyond Perdue's backyard.

Perdue says we must cut things in hard times that we buy in good times. Perdue is living in good times while teachers are living in hard times. Hard Times with capital letters.

Meanwhile, Cox thinks schools would benefit from more gambling or at least more expensive gambling.

We need to gamble on new leadership in November. Oh Hell! Let's cheat and get new leadership. Cheating has become the American Way.
