In its editorial this morning, The Spokesman-Review comments:

The path to improving Idaho’s economic prospects goes through postsecondary campuses. The Legislature must help more students on their way. On Monday, Lt. Gov. Brad Little urged education committee members to adopt a resolution calling for 60 percent of Idahoans between the ages of 25 and 34 to have a college degree or postsecondary certificate by 2020. The State Board of Education adopted that goal in 2010. It might take a revolution, rather than a resolution, to get there. The current rate is about 40 percent. More here.

Question: There was a time when education was a top priority in Idaho. The polls clearly said so. Yet, today, the Idaho Legislature gets away with underfunding education at nearly every term. What happened?
