2/3s Unhappy w/K-12 Funding

Nearly two-thirds of Idahoans believe their state is not spending enough money on schools, according to a survey released Monday. Meanwhile, a majority of Idahoans believes state education policy is headed in the wrong direction. These were two findings from a survey conducted by Salt Lake City-based polling company Dan Jones and Associates for Idaho Politics Weekly, a new online newsletter that describes itself as “a one-stop source for Idaho political, government and public policy information.” The newsletter is funded by Zions Bank of Salt Lake City/Kevin Richert, IdahoED NEWS.

Question: And yet they re-elect those who have trashed the public education budget for years. Amazing. Thoughts?
