do you agree that the state Legislature is going to fund public schools before funding anything?

Question

Proponents of the measure argue that this is necessary so that legislators do not play politics with school funding

Opponents of the measure argue because it unnecessarily constrains how the legislature conducts its business and is likely to impede work on other parts of the budget, as well as provide more opportunities for legislators to insert pork project into the budget.

Do you think this is a good idea and if so, why? Alternatively, do you think that procedural restraints of this type are a bad idea and if so, why?

Answer 1

The question is impossible to answer without knowing what state you are referring to.
