like they did with the lottery here in Florida? Lottery money supposed to go to education. It did, but they took away the money education was already getting. Basically no net gain.

As far as I'm concerned public schools and school teachers should be at the top of the priority list with excellent pay and money for the infrastructure that makes schools go.
