On the recordMarch 18, 2004
This is $100 million voluntarily, correct? This is not $100 million where the legislature in Arizona passed a new tax and said we are upping our sales tax by half a percent or changing the income tax? This is $100 million that people voluntarily in Arizona said we are going to pump this money back into our education system to help educate our kids and provide a higher level and a higher quality of education?
