We also will be voting this week on a bill which I co-patroned which would return up to 100 percent lottery proceeds to education.
We had a group of 7th graders visit from Highland School this past week; Tuesday, seniors from Liberty High School will be with us, as we consider budget amendments, including my efforts to assist the return of funding to, among others, Extension and Research.
