Idaho lottery officials have announced that $41.5 million will be allocated to the recipients of the proceeds from the lottery, says a story in the Coeur d”Alene Press.
For example, the school building fund and the Permanent Building Fund each will receive $17 million. Money will also be sent to local school districts as discretionary funds thus leaving it up to each district on how it wishes to spend it share.
IT’s time to take the lottery earnings out of “state expanding bureaucracy” and building more buildings to add more layers of bureaucrats …. it’s time the lottery earnings were returned to the public. Were the funds came from. To be used by the smaller communities for “economic developement” and not for more “local government”.
