Arizona is last in the country in our support of public education. If we wish to improve the economy of this state, we must publicly support our schools up to and including the universities.
Why is this important?
A lack of education has many long-term effects for the state of Arizona. We have too many low wage workers and do not attract industries that bring high-paying jobs. Many of our most promising college graduates probably leave Arizona and relocate to cities with better-paying careers.
More funding for education can change this trend and improve the well-being of our citizens.
