Re: School funding

It seems my idea about increased advertising dollars at our state's public schools wasn't very popular.
But here's another idea, from former State Comptroller John Sharp.
Sharp recommends negotiating with Oklahoma and Louisanna to have them give the State of Texas, 5 percent of their casino revenues - considering the billions of Texas dollars that go to both states in their casinos.
In exchange for the 5 percent of revenue, Texas will promise to never open casinos in our state.
